OK, this is super cool Don. Fantastic work. I loved the family photo! Great separation between subject and background.

@Bigfarmer8 thank you! I was pretty excited to discover the Petzval relationship. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Thank you for a fascinating video! I have a modern-made CCTV C-mount lens for my M43 cameras, but I’ve been wanting to explore more vintage options. Never realised that these were Petzval-inspired designs!

Hi Don, saw your video. You can now buy a black metal D mount and screw this into the C mount adapter you have in this video. I don't get infinity with my Bell & Howell lens but I do get amazing macro from it.

I have a couple of C mount lenses myself Don and I used them a while ago for video on my E-M1ii. Seeing your results has inspired me to take some stills, although mine are not cooke designs sadly.

@@photographyforenjoyment those old Cooke Kinic lenses are fun to shoot with. Very interesting results.

( New D Mount Movie Mount To C mount for Moive Lens to Camera Adapter W/ Flange US $8.90) the seller is hunter 20099, I bought it on Ebay UK and cost 14.27 dollars including postage and came from China.

@@_H_2023 will it allow infinity focus? Lens flange to film distance for D mount is shorter than C mount.
