This is a test of my Pentax 105 2.8 adapted onto my 550D (T2i). Clips are completely unedited and are all shot on the standard color profile. I acquired this lens, along with a 50/1.4 Asahi Takumar, a couple weeks ago. Generally, I have been pleased with this lens. I prefer using this for photos over video. My main gripe is the long minimum focusing distance, which is 4ft. I find it annoying because I often find myself too close to the subject and have to take steps back to get my subject in focus. Definitely not for macro work. The lens is pretty sharp at all apertures. It seems to be optimum around f/5.6. I like the bokeh; it has the look of more expensive lenses. Thanks for watching, please let me know how I can improve and what lenses you’d like to see next. Song: soundcloud.com The T2i produces the same video as the T3i. (and similar video and FOV with this lens on the 7D, Ti1, 50D, 60D, and various Nikons and other cameras with 1.5x & 1.6x crop factors.)
Video Rating: 4 / 5

The type of adapter you need depends on the lens mount and your camera body’s mount. Do some quick research to make sure of what lens and camera mounts you have. If your lens has screw threads around the rear lens element, you want an M42 to Canon Eos mount adapter. Or if there are three slots instead of screw threads, that’s a pentax K mount (a newer mount than the m42) and you want a Pentax K to Canon Eos adapter for that one. Congrats on this awesome lens, and 60D. I’m a 20D user 😉
