In this video, we take two old projector lenses and adapt them to modern cameras for photography. The lenses we are adapting are the Bell & Howell 51mm f/1.2 and the Bell & Howell 16mm F/1.4.
These lenses are super sharp in the center with very dramatic swirly bokeh. However, they do have a lot of odd characteristics to work through, such as extreme barrel distortion.
This was an extremely fun and frustrating project! I hope everyone enjoys!
To modify the lenses, I used the following:
Pixco M58 to M58 Adjustable Helicoid (36mm to 90mm tube):

Schwinn Replacement Tube for Bike Tire Inner Tube :

M58 to Camera Adapter, in my case Canon EF (I purchased mine from Rafcamera, though I cannot currently locate those listings. This is similar):
