Lucian Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Hey Folks, My Kowa lens came in the mail today, it came pre-fitted with some redstan clamps and since this is my first time round, I am trying to work out what I need to get this attached to my m42 mount lenses. I'm assuming I will need a step ring of some sort but i don't know what thread size. Sorry if this is an overly simple question. Here is a pic of what I have. Thanks for any advice in advance! http://picturepush.com/public/12703481" />[img=http://www3.picturepush.com/photo/a/12703481/640/12703481.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tito Ferradans Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Redstan's clamp for this lens has a 62mm thread, so you'll probably need a 49-62mm step up ring, if you bought the russian lenses you mentioned on the other topics! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brucker Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 look at the lens cap of the lens to which you want to attach it to, that'll give you the A in an A to B step up ring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucian Posted April 16, 2013 Author Share Posted April 16, 2013 Great, thanks tferradans, I did indeed buy the russian lenses. Brucker, The lens cap on the back end has no labeling unfortunately :) Thanks again guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
septemberdawn Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 I hope you left the seller good feedback? It is a superb lens, especially with the inclusion of the Redstan components. Tito Ferradans 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julian Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 You got lucky with the clamps! :) (depending on the price of course, but they are great). Just google the filter thread size of your M42 lenses and you'll know what step up / step down filters you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brucker Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 oops, thought you were after the thread of the taking lens. my bad, misread your post :P you could always ask redstan the man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony wilson Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 back clamp is 62mm filter thread front filter is 72mm looks very nice set up i would send it back the color is a little gay. when buying film gear always ask yourself what would chuck norris buy what color would he feel comfortable and manly with :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucian Posted April 16, 2013 Author Share Posted April 16, 2013 I hope you left the seller good feedback? It is a superb lens, especially with the inclusion of the Redstan components. Lol, I will once I test the lens is working okay. I assume you are the seller ? I bought from someone in Aus. I am actually from Australia myself, I just live in LA for work!

Lucian Posted April 16, 2013 Author Share Posted April 16, 2013 Thanks Tony, but I believe chuck would approve of blood red. Tis the colour of justice. back clamp is 62mm filter thread front filter is 72mm looks very nice set up i would send it back the color is a little gay. when buying film gear always ask yourself what would chuck norris buy what color would he feel comfortable and manly with :) Tito Ferradans 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
