I'm off to the coast tomorrow so I'm sorting out what stuff to take, some film cock-ups mean the 6 and the C220 both have b/w in them and I want to shoot colour, so its gonna be 35mm.
I'm using my FM2n, M42 glass and an adapter, the film will be kodachrome.
I have this gorgeous Yashica 50 1.4 in M42, but whilst sorting my crap out I find it will not focus when fitted to a Nikon adapter, the rear element rolls out from the back of the lens, but the adapter doesn't allow enough travel for even half distance focussing.
Is this typical of 50mm 1.4's because the 1.8 is no problem.
Is there a work around, because I'm not taking the Zenit just to shoot the 50.
Will the same problem occur with an A1 and the necessary adapter, I may move to that for M42 if I ever get it back..
