Thanks for your answer, Peter.emory,
I once mounted a Kinoptik Tegea weighing 1400g, but I felt very uneasy and would not repeat the experience.
In the first English G1 manual that was on the net but not printed, they had a warning stating a max. lens weight of 1000g. I would still be careful not to make any brusque movements, like moving the tripod without supporting the lens.
OTOH I doubt whether your adaptall lens will deliver sufficient sharpness on the small G1 sensor.

Mine seems to work fine. There are no threads past the bottom of the adapter, there is a black inner ring that is well less than a mm beyond the bottom, but it does not seem to touch anything in the camera.djonseil, my 25/1.5 Wallensak projects by about two threads beyond the bottom of my Hawk adapter, and I think it is hitting the light baffle on the G1 - do you have the same problem?
I think this 36mm is quite usable and the slight unsharpness on the edges is not disagreable; thank you for sharingThis lens turned out to be a pleasant surprise: it seems well-made, operates smoothly, and covers pretty much the full G1 frame. Its performance isn't bad, either, for an f/1.1 lens; I didn't try it at any smaller apertures, but imagine it might clean up quite well.
Conclusion: Not only can I say confidently that this is the best $7 f/1.1 lens I own, it looks as if it may be good enough to be of actual practical use!
Or I may just not be as critical as Vivek! I'll have to try it stopped down sometime and see what it can do.Ranger, the 36/1.1 certainly is worth $7, maybe even 8 or 10. Vivek has this lens in the database, recording full sensor coverage, he reports it 'glows' wide open, and is soft, but your example might simply be better. I'm curious; if you unscrew the lens for closer focus, can it still reach infinity?
...well, not this one. The bright rings around background OOF highlights never appealed to me. I know some like that stuff but it is not for me.Canon FD 24mm F1.4 L wide-open
Very nice. That is a lens I would love to try. Is it very big? Do you have any details about the mount?D.O. Industries Navitron TV 75mm F1.3 wide-open
The grand macro, one of the best. Too long and heavy for me but maybe it even is worth the hassle of some workout.Voigtlander Macro APO-Lanthar 125mm F2.5 M42 mount wide-open
