  1. Thanks for your replies. I wasn't able to get more than minimal information elsewhere, so this is really helpful. It sounds like maybe it's not worth it and the repairman was right in just leaving it alone.
  2. I recently bought a Mamiya 65mm f/6.3 lens. I've seen a few brief messages online that said it can be "easily" modded to open up to f/4, but I don't know how to do this. I just got it back from repair at Nippon camera in NYC, and I asked the technician if he could do this mod, and he shook his head — "Don't do it." It could get stuck in the open position, he claimed. But sometimes those guys just don't want to rock the boat; I've seen it mentioned in several posts that you can indeed remove a plastic tab to get it to open to f/4. I realize the quality won't be great opened up, but that doesn't bother me — I need the extra speed. Anyone have any experience/tips doing this? Thanks.
  3. I finally tried the Russar and for the record it does indeed fit and work well! (Except for the color shift on the edges.)
  4. I posted this question a few months ago on Rangefinderforum.com but no one really knew the answer. The Russar 20mm f5.6 lens has a large, protruding rear element. (There is a new version of the lens from Lomo, but this question is regarding the original black aluminum one.) I am wondering if the rear element protrudes too far back for the digital sensors. Thanks!
