Description: Tokina ATX 80-200 f/2.8 Fully manual Zoom Lens EF mount! This beautiful lens has been modified from its original FD mount to an EF mount. It's compatible with all EF mount cameras and will work via an E/EF adaptor with Sony A series cameras, Sony's FS5, FS7 as well as Canon. It is of course fully manual. No autofocus, no auto iris, no IS. But that makes it great for video work. The lens has excellent optics and has been compared to the Canon 70-200 L lenses in quality. The modifications were carried out by Eddie Houston a.k.a The Lens Doctor in February 2017 at which point he also stripped and cleaned the lens and replaced the corrector lenses. The lens is de-clicked which means it has a smooth fluid variable aperture. It is also close to parfocal if you zoom carefully. If you hanker after a fully manual zoom lens you will enjoy this. It comes with the original leather case and lens hood. The hood has suffered a tiny crack at some point (see photo) but this has been well repaired and is barely noticeable. It has no practical effect on the operation. The lens caps are now both Canon ones as the front was lost and the rear needed to change when it became an EF mount. Inspection is welcome at my home in Richmond (SW London).

Description: This is a great lens for video work, particularly when shooting interviews or similar on a super 35 sized sensor. It's compatible with all Canon's mirrorless cameras and camcorders (C300/C100 etc) and I have also used it via an E/EF adaptor on Sony FS7s and the A7 range. The optics are in great condition, it's quite light and compact and yet still f/3.5, it has a fluid variable aperture and everything functions smoothly and cleanly. If you can avoid twisting your wrist as you zoom it's virtually parfocal too. Of course you can also use it as a stills lens as well but please note this model is not compatible with mirrored DSLRs. The conversion from FD mount to EF was carried out by Eddie Houston, also known as The Lens Doctor The original lens hood is missing but it has been replaced with a rubber hood. I'm including a Hoya UV filter which I always use to keep the front element clean and safe and there are lens caps front and back. You are welcome to inspect the lens if Richmond (SW London) is convenient for you.

Description: Minolta Rokkor 58mm f/1.2 prime lens with EF mount: This fast prime lens is in amazing condition for its age (40-50 I'm guessing). There is some dust internally but no fungus or haze and nothing that effects picture quality. I inherited it from my late father-in-law's collection and had it converted about 6 years ago to EF mount by Jim Buchanan who is a US based Minolta lens specialist. It works with mirrored and mirrorless cameras, full frame and APS-C. I used it a lot on my C300 and on my 5D. This Rokkor lens is considered a classic lens and produces beautiful images. It comes with a Vivitar Haze filter, a Vivitar rubber hood (small damage see photo) and two lens caps. Inspection, trial welcomed in Richmond, Sw London.
