Fujian Lens to Canon EOS adapter

[Ninjayeti]

Hello,

I'm wanting to buy a Fujian 25mm CCTV lens from ebay:

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Fujian-2...35?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_15&hash=item3aa8ff283b

This lens comes with a C Mount Adapter (C-EOS M) and a Micro Ring.

I own a Canon 7D. What mount / adapter do I need to be able to use this lens on my 7D?

Thanks!

I doubt you can use the C-mount CCTV lens on an EOS body

C-mount lens has flange distance/registration of 17.5mm
EOS-M body has flange distance of 18mm
EOS body has flange distance of 44mm

So even if you can find an adapter to mount the said C-lens on the 7D, you will only get a "macro" image

Thank you for your reply.

I found this, which seems that it might be a solution:
https://www.fotodioxpro.com/c-mount-movie-lens-to-canon-eos-camera-lens-mount-adapter.html

Then I read some reviews on Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/Fotodiox-Lens-Mount-Adapter-C-Mount/dp/B003EAY5S6

Also found another one:
http://srb-photographic.co.uk/canon-eos-to-c-mount-lens-adaptor-5989-p.asp

So going by what you say, even if I get this adapter to work, I will only get "Macro" shots? It looks like the lens slightly sits inside the camera body. Will this help with reducing the flange distance?

Your thoughts?

Thank you

44mm-17.5mm = 26.5mm.
So you need to move th rear part of the lens into an EOS body by about 26.5mm.
I doubt you can reach that number even if you remove the mirror of the EOS camera :sweat:

So basically, it's impossible.

Thank you both for your help.

Instead consider getting Russian M42 lenses and a eos-m42 adapter. Cheaper than messing around with the mounts

the fujian lens is more for m4/3 cams.
