Canon EF 50mmf1.8 II, Customized - Cinematic lens Rehousing

thingiverse

This lens housing is optimized for Canon 50mm f1.8 II. It is inexpensive, and the basic shape is not stable, and it is difficult to implement the operation of the manual focus ring on the lens housing, so we do not think it is a good target for lens housing. And I don't think there was an improvement in the function of this lens due to the lens housing. Nevertheless, I wanted to give a small gift to the canon 50mm f1.8 II I spent 20 years together, so I challenged custom lens rehousing. The Canon EF 50mm F1.8 II was the cheapest lens for the EOS system. (Now you can choose the successor model Canon EF 50mm F1.8 STM) The overall image quality at the smallest stop is actually very impressive, and the fast maximum aperture gives you creative options to explore. Sorry for the build quality and harsh bokeh, but ultimately this lens has a very good price / performance ratio. The overall build quality, (such as manual focus ring control), is poor. And the appearance was also ugly without any peculiarities. I wanted to improve the flaws of this reminiscent lens, and challenged custom lens rehousing. Of course, it is not satisfactory because there is only a change in appearance and there is no functionally significant improvement, but since it is a result of efforts, I would like to share it. Notice - If the 3 bolts fixing the front of the lens housing are too tight, the focus ring will not rotate. Adjust the balance of the three bolts and tighten only to the proper extent As an parts, M5 standard length 10 or 12mm bolts x 3, M5 insert nuts x 3, and 52-82mm step-up ring (filter adapter) were used.
