Canon 6D DSLR - Split image Focusing Screen Hackfor Adapting Vintage lenses

Dive deep into the world of camera modifications as we bring the magic of vintage lenses to the modern Canon 6D DSLR. In this video, I walk you through the process of adapting beloved M42 and Pentax K vintage lenses to the Canon 6D. But there's a twist!

Manual focusing on DSLRs can be a challenge, especially when using lenses that weren't originally designed for them. That's where the incredible split image focusing screen from the Nikon EM comes in. This old-school tech provides a split image focus and micro prism — features missing in most modern DSLRs, including the Canon 6D.

Join me in exploring this unique modification, making manual focus crisp and precise. Whether you're a photography enthusiast looking to breathe new life into old lenses or someone just curious about camera tech, this video has something for everyone. Plus, get insights into using M42 to EF adaptors and Pentax K to EF adaptors to make the most of your vintage collection on a modern Canon body.
