TIA!

The lens for the Canon 7/7s/7sZ is Rangefinder coupled. Some of the TV lenses are also Rangefinder coupled, but most are not. So the conversion process for TV lens involves an addition step. Meaning more room for errors and **** up. I've seen a lot of blotched jobs floating around.

Cheers.

DNG direct from camera, only WB adjustment, no sharpening or further LR processing.
