Old camera lenses being fitted on modern DSLRs is hardly anything new, but usually it takes some hard work and craftsmanship. The end result however, is always very amazing. Same like this Canon 5D Mark II user Timor Civan’s latest bit of kit. He came into the possession of a circa 1908 Wollensak 35mm F5.0 Cine-Velostigmat lens (for a hand-cranked film camera) by way of a Russian lens technician they defined as a “mad scientist,” who also managed to fit the lens to the 5D after about six hours of work and sweat. Needless to say, the results speak for themselves. Check out the source for even more photos.
