The people at Sushicam have successfully grafted the Minitar lens from a Lomo LC-A onto an Epson RD-1 digital rangefinder. Check out the step-by-step of building the lens mount as well as sample images here at Sushicam.

Also don’t miss Ta King, who has several galleries of photos taken with Lomo Minitar and Holga lenses hacked onto his Canon Digital Rebel DSLR.
The folks at Sushicam are working on putting the Lomo LC-A’s Minitar lens onto an Epson RD-1 digital rangefinder. As they point out, with the RD-1’s 1.5x crop factor, they’ll probably lose out on much of the vignetting, but there’s one way to find out!
I’ve long thought about adapting it for use on video cameras, perhaps using something like Media Chance‘s DoF Machine, and am quite curious to see what they get out of it.
Check out Part 1 and stay on the lookout for Part 2!
