Thread Adapters
Are there readily-available thread adapters for putting a lens built
for a Copal/Compur #3 into, perhaps, an Ilex #4? (or whatever would be the suitable version) TIA, Collin |

(or whatever would be the suitable version) TIA, Collin Hi Collin, There are no off-the-shelf adaptors. Generally the lens cells are mounted in tubes which form the adaptor to the shutter. The treads must be right but also the apex spacing of the lenses must be right. In general the adaptors must be custom made for the particular lens and the shutter its desired to mount it in. Such work is done by precision machinists like S.K. Grimes shop: http://www.skgrimes.com If your lens is in a Copal or especially a Compur why put it into an Ilex shutter, which is IMHO inferior to either. Compur shutters especially are very rugged and can almost always be brought back to new shutter performance by a skilled repair person. Richard Knoppow Los Angeles, CA, USA |
