About to drop some wisdom…
… not really! But some words about my experience with this strange (and cumbersome) lens:
This is a giant and heavy motorized zoom lens originally used in a Noritsu minilab. I (clumsily) removed the motors and adapted it in a very haphazard way. From a conversation with Robert OToole I knew that I had to brace myself for heavy chromatic abberations and so my expectations were somewhat muted already.
It‘s safe to say this isn‘t a great lens to adapt. It also stands to reason though that there are interesting shots to be taken with every lens imaginable. So keeping that in mind I didn‘t try to go for maximizing IQ but rather just have fun with the lens. That goal was certainly achieved, you be the judge if the shortcomings of this lens (or my misuse) ruin it or not!
Shot with a Noritsu "Zoom NC 3x-15.6x" lens on a Canon EOS R5.
