Xmas Posted August 6, 2011 Share #3 Posted August 6, 2011 Hi Andy It makes 'Bill's' baseplate lens holder look like a toy, but with three fast lenses the weight would be a tad higher. Noel P.S. Sorry Bill Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
luigi bertolotti Posted August 6, 2011 Share #4 Posted August 6, 2011 It was officially listed, but seems it didn't enjoy great commercial success... interesting and fine item : notice, it works only with screwmount lenses, though made for M bodies; there has been another "rotating" device... the filters' turret for Visoflex.

Xmas Posted August 6, 2011 Share #5 Posted August 6, 2011 Hi It needed to use the LTM lenses as it is like a large LTM to M adapter, to maintain focus to infinity. Simpler to use three bodies... but the collectors must be sleeping. Noel Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

robert_parker Posted August 8, 2011 Share #11 Posted August 8, 2011 I've seen the ORLOF referred to by Andy and watched it demonstrated. It's quite amazing in terms of how it achieves the function it performs and is entertaining in its own right. It's seriously the sort of thing you could produce at a dinner party, as well as a collectable item. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
