HELP!!

[Jesus Garcia]

Hi everyone. I recently purchased a set of Cine Kowa lenses and overlooked that they were Arri Bayonet mount. How can I adapt this to be used on a 7D?

Thank You in advance.

If it's really the old Arri Bayonet mount, that's going to be pretty tricky to adapt to a 7D. If it's the newer Arri PL mount, then you have some adapter options.

Would it be possible to use the 7d mount cap and the arriflex bayonet cap in a sort-of diy adapter? How can i match up the flange focal distance?

Buy some B mount to PL adapters from me and get them fitted. They are only $90 each but need some machining and a good lens tech to fit. Then buy the cine mod PL mount for $350 and fit it to the camera front. I think those lenses don't protrude deeper than 14.5mm so you don't need to remove the shutter. If they do go deeper then Cine mod can remove your mirror to. If you don't need a mirror removed then the mounts can be taken on and off in a few minutes.

Or you could sell them to me.:smile5:

Haha, I hope you're being sarcastic Patrick because that looks quite risky to completely disassemble your 7D.
