threedi got a reaction from valid in Mount for Iscomorphot 8 1.5
I have been looking and looking for any sort of mount for an Iscomorphot 8 1.5. Redstan no longer seem to supply these and I coudnt find anything else that looked any good online.
So I made my own.
I thought this may be of interest to anyone else looking or having the same problem.
The OD of the Isco lens body is 37.1mm approx so I took a 37mm thread to 43mm adapter and opened up the ID in the lathe until I got a nice slip fit over the Isco body,
I then drilled and tapped a small hole to accept a set screw. I can now retain the lens within this 'adapter' collar and screw that into whatever spacers I need to mount to different lenses.
The set screw is the cup tip type and it holds onto the lens really well.
I make sure the lens is set to infinity before sliding it into the adapter and setting the screw as that is its shortest length of travel in this position.
About £10 in parts too
