jlm Posted March 29, 2007 Share #1 Posted March 29, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) I'm about finished with the custom filter adapter, using Guy's WATE for the test mule no glass in it yet (tomorrow), but the adapter now fits the hood and the lens threads and stops and will take the B+W glass from a 49mm 486 filter. took this quick shot to test for vignetting. focused at infinity, f22 and f4, 16mm setting. sky a bit darker away from the horizon; typical in Brooklyn, eh? small batch run this time, maybe 8 pcs, then a larger production run. one for Guy and Mark for sure.

Advertisement Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 Hi jlm, Take a look here WATE filtered. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Guest guy_mancuso Posted March 29, 2007 Share #2 Posted March 29, 2007 I'm so excited , it all comes home to daddy on Monday. Folks this is going to work i can feel it. Mine will just be painted but final ones will be anodized. John has been kind enough to keep me up to the moment with e-mails and man this was a complicated milling job. So look forward to final images and results soon from John and myself Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
marknorton Posted March 29, 2007 Share #3 Posted March 29, 2007 Great news, I'm impressed, John has done a great job in a short time and I'm pleased to see it's not vignetting. Those threads are certainly difficult to replicate. I feel certain that this filter holder with the normal hood and lens cap will make using the lens much easier.

John Please keep me in mind for one of the adapters. Whether from the first run or a later one is of no great consequence to me but I would love to have one of these. Thanks for considering Woody Spedden Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisC Posted March 30, 2007 Share #6 Posted March 30, 2007 Bravo, well done the collective and embarrassed shame red faces in Solms I hope. The WATE was to be my first lens, but it's issues eventually me off. I'm surprised how quickly you have got a working prototype solution for mounting the hood and filter out; really impressive guys. ....................Chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
