Some weeks ago I started a similar thread in another forum to make available custom made helicoids for easier lens conversions, which turned out positive.
Now I wondered if others here might be interested in such helicoids for mft cameras to easily adapt their manual lenses to? I would be willing to organize such a bulk order, as ususally 10-20 each have to be ordered before such a custom order will be accepted by manufacturers.
Available sizes as per today are:
a) short: approx. 13.5 - 20.5mm extension
b) middle: approx. 20.5 - 41.5mm extension
c) long: approx. 30.5 - 50.5mm extension
d) extra long: approx. 35.5 - 90.0mm extension
matte black or silver finish (if quantities are reached).
PM me or reply here to see if there would be some interest in that.
Estimated prices depend massively on the quantities we reach, I expect EUR80-100 each, but this can only be set after negotiations with the manufacturer(s).
This is how the custom made helicoids look like from that other project to have an idea about the quality to expect (bajonet rear mount, M42 front thread mount to attach any lens with suitable intermediate ring)
