Looking for that SP tuto to mod a GL MKII
« on: January 26, 2017, 02:42:43 AM »
Anybody still have that SP tutorial to put a GL MKII on a VX2100 ?
I've got a GL2 + MKII right now. I'm considering going with a VX2100, but I can't afford changing camera and fisheye...

remove all screws on the bayonet part
thread it off, there should be 72mm (i think) threads under it
get a 77mm male to female spacer, then 77 to 67, and 67 to 58 and screw them all together onto the bayonet
then it should thread right onto the threads on your vx2100

Sweet ! Thanks for the tip.
Have you tested this method ? Is the vigneting different from a real VX bayo fisheye ?

The solution I had in mind was to remove some plastic from the VX in order to make the GL bayo fit...
