Hello guys,
does the Mamiya AF 55-110mm f4.5 work with the new XF body from Phase One? I have a really good one and i dont want to sell it if i change to the XF...
Thank you.
Sorry to bring this back up!
I have just picked up an older 150mm f2.8A lens in excellent condition but obviously it won't fit without modification. I have looked at all the info for altering a C lens but this is different. Anyone know if it's possible to modify the 150 2.8A to fit and if so, any guides to do the work?
Many thanks

Thanks for advice.Good gosh, guys, it's as easy as filing your nails. Remove the 3 screws and look at the Phase photos and do the same with a flat metal file you probably have in your garage. Smooth out rouigh spots and it's all done. Paint black after filing if the silver bothers you. Have done 3 so far including a 500mm-no issues.

My 500 is very good and even came in the original case (cheap plastic) and original box, but the 300 APO AF is better and my favorite thanks to Graham Welland's post some time back taken in Monument Valley.Thanks for advice.
Be great if you could take a few photos of the next one you do. The Phase instructions/photos are very poor - are we removing a vertical piece or something from the flat disc itself? It's probably blindingly obvious once you've done one, but not till then!
Mine has a bright steel ring locked in place by 3 screws. Easily removed, but its the black inner ring/bayonet(?) that goes much deeper into the back of the lens. (Probably that depth varies by lens?) I think you are supposed to remove part of the vertical edge of the black rings circumference. But as I'm guessing, I'm going to get it done professionally, this time, at least.
On another note - hows that Mamiya 500mm?!
Need to revive this as I'm having issue with an adapter. Look like the instruction from Phase One is now at https://support.phaseone.com/knowledgebase/article/KA-01014/en-usYes, it's the vertical small lip running around the mounting bracket that prevents mounting on your XF. You file about 2/3's of it away from say 10:30 to11 all the way around to like 6 ot 7 o'clock exactly like the PO article shows. I do not remember where one starts or ends but those "o'clock" comments are approximate. I'll try to send you a photo.
