>>3255003Probs last pic for tonight. Kinda documenting since there is so little useful information about this lens online right now.
Back element Rear-EFL from a quick approximation is 12mm. I’ll hold onto it for future experiments, but for this lens experiment it’s definitely trashed for good.
The trick is preserving the T stop in my solution and not changing the EFL of the lens from 50 very drastically (if it ends up 60mm I’m fine but now it’s T/.83 or so assuming the lens itself is T/.75. The internal glass is very highly refractive so I have no idea if that affects the T stop)
