dogus_askan Posted February 9, 2005 Author Share Posted February 9, 2005 actually this post was regarding to japn manufacturers (since japan is the main producer), but any where would do as good as.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neild Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 Hmmm - large volumes could only be got through a company. If it were just a few of them, I would suggest buying some cheap/broken cameras on that great big auction site and strip them down... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wharridge Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 Maybe try 3rd party teleconverter manufacturers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
__hank_boneroneo1 Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 You'd have better luck searching if you would spell the names correctly. Brand names don't have a native language. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ron c sunshine coast,qld,a Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 Dogus it will be difficult to get the same ones even when ordering genuine parts because different model cameras use different mounts,even though the front lens face may be the same.<BR>I guess you are building adapters of some kind?<BR>I notice this kind of cheap adapter available on ebay is made in two parts so the front section could be used as a substitute camera mount? I assume other type mounts could be used in a similar fashion <P>http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=30059&item=3872025928&rd=1<P> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winfried_buechsenschuetz1 Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 Edmund Optics sells adapters with T2 (M42x0.75) female thread on one end and a variety of lens mount on the other one. If you don't need an uniform look you may check on ebay for T2 adapters. They are available for many different lens mounts. If you want to mount other things on the other end, making an M42x0.75mm thread should pose no big problem for any qualified mechanic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
