Minolta MD Rokkor-X 45mm F2 to EOS conversion using a M42-EOS adapter.

Tools used:
[*]Precision screw drivers:similar to this

[*]Small Angle Grinder: borrowed from my dad but you can find one similar to this

[*]Dremel:similar to this

[*]Superglue/Epoxy: this lens is so small and light I decided just to use super glue instead of the regular screws.

Time: 2-3 hours.

**Note: Be careful handling the tools. If you are tired, take a break. It's no fun when theres' blood.
