SONY a6000 Falcon F Combo

A few months back a US made Falcon type F arrived to my doorstep in poor shape. Attempts to fix the focusing helicoid were in vain as it snapped in several pieces.

 

Front standard was good however , optics cleaned nicely and shutter is solid, although for my purposes only T mattered.

 

i adapted to a fotasy helicoid m42 to sony e mount using a c mount ring to fix the lens on the adapter.

Makes for a fun shooter, and flare galore, I may fashion a hood of sorts at some point. Lens cap is from a protein shake carton. Samples and combo below

 

 

Ingenious! A nice tidy adaptation and rather nice results. I guess having only the centre of the lens in use helps the overall quality, as it was originally intended for a 4x3cm film frame and here it's projecting onto a 2.51x1.67cm sensor, but the colour and definition are really pretty good. I can imagine having a lot of fun with the combo! Thanks for showing.

Thanks Rick - shooting at F/8 helped too, but with focus peaking and magnification assist it makes for an interesting rig. Had a hard time with A6000 getting the magnification setup but in the end it worked well.
