I borrowed a Pentacon 6 to EOS adapter from a friend, an inexpensive Chinese product he says, and it fit on this lens like a glove. The wall to the side of the adapter is thin enough that it misses the protruding pin by a mm at most and makes it work. I think the particular adapter was designed with this pin in mind. Whew!! While I don't think this zebra lens is the Olympia version (they were silvery metallic, AFAIK, and would be great to have), these zebra versions are well respected, and even with a single coating it renders good color and contrast. I have seen many of these zebra variety without the pin, including another one of mine. Yes, I did get a little greedy and ended up with two :-P

Yes, it indeed changes height as the aperture ring is turned. I think it would be wise to take it to a camera repair shop and let them do it professionally. It's hard to tell how this pin is assembled deep inside the flange. The lens is too pristine for me to mess with. Tom Chow, do you know which 35mm cameras need this pin to communicate with? I was intending to mount it on a Canon EOS camera, which doesn't seem to need it as there is no provision to accept this pin. Thanks

I just received this medium format Pentacon 6 lens which I intend to use on a Pentacon Six camera, but also want to mount it on a Cannon 5d Mk II with an adapter. Problem is, it has a pin sticking out in the back (besides the aperture control pin), which is preventing the lens from attaching to the EOS adapter. This pin doesn't sink in at all, but pulls out a little bit, but not all the way out. What is this extra pin for? Can this just be trimmed off? I have an exact same lens which only has the aperture control pin, not this additional pin. Here is an image of the two lenses. One on the left is the strange one...........

Got all the way to this hillside ghost town on a cloudy day and realized I left the camera batteries and charger at home. So made use of my phone camera to shoot. As they say, the best camera you own, is the one you have on you. Or something like that.
