ALL EDMIKA KITS REQUIRE 10-15 DAYS TO CUSTOM PRODUCE

FOR EXPERIENCED INSTALLERS ONLY | WARNING: READ THIS BEFORE PURCHASING

NOTICE:  The use of Speedboosters/Adapters with middle glass elements and/or electronic contact pins may interfere with the function of specific lenses when focusing to infinity.  We recommend using a straight-through adapter without corrective middle glass or electronic contact pins.

 

Buy at your own risk.  The Canon nFD to EF conversion system is not a DIY-friendly application and is designed for use only by experienced and professional lens techs.  If you have never before serviced or modded a lens, we strongly advise against using this kit.  Please note that after-sales technical assistance via Simmod or EDMIKA will be limited.  We strongly advise sending your lenses to a professional technician for EF conversion to be performed..  Each kit is NON-REFUNDABLE.  EACH KIT IS MADE SPECIFICALLY FOR EVERY LENS.  

 

A JIS Screwdriver is no longer included. Please select a Tool Option to purchase one if required.

____

This kit is designed to convert your Canon nFD 50mm f1.2 L lens to EF using the DCG Aperture Control system.  The conversion is non-reversible.  Removal of the rear glass element is required.  The risk of breaking the rear element during extraction is highly possible.  Before purchasing this kit, we strongly ask that you attempt to remove the native rear element to determine if you still wish to proceed with the conversion.  There is no replacement glass available for this lens. All sales are final and non refundable.

 

EDMIKA and SIMMOD LENS have partnered to bring you the most advanced nFD to EF Cine conversion system on the market with this second-generation Cine Pro Kit.  Redesigned to meet the demands of cine use, this kit is comprised of the following:

 

  • Brass EF Mount
  • DCG Aperture Control

 

Designed for precision, functionality, and durability, our Brass EF mounts provide an OEM fitment on any EF body.  State-of-the-art CNC machining ensures a tight fit while maintaining infinity focus and proper functionality between camera and lens.  If your FD lens can achieve infinity focus before the EF conversion, this mount is designed to go slightly beyond infinity to ensure infinity focus capability.  However, please note that installing this EF mount will not fix the problem if your native FD lens does not reach infinity before conversion.  Infinity re-calibration may be required.

 

Aperture Control Options:

 

Dampened Control Gear (DCG)

In addition to the newly designed mount, we've developed an optional integrated aperture gear, SIMply called the Dampened Control Gear (DCG).   DCG allows you to de-click and dampen the aperture on all supported nFD lenses while providing a 0.8 mod aperture gear for smooth aperture control.  Using the DCG system will eliminate any issues caused by iris drift.  DCG replaces the native aperture ring on your lens.  Each DCG is CNC machined from Delrin and is etched with the exact f/stop markings as the native aperture ring.  We strongly recommend the DCG option for all Cine Users.

 

We are shipping them out as fast as we can.  Once your order leaves, you will receive an automated tracking number.
