landulf Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Is there any Diopters for sankor 16 d? If there is, where do I put them? Front of the Sankor lens? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Elkerton Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 You will need an adapter to mount to the front of your Sankor as it has no thread. Check out Redstan, he may have something, or get some blue tack. Proper achromats are very expensive they will reduce your minimum focus distance and more than likely improve your image. Not to sound rude but that maybe an overkill on your Sankor. Plus Sankors are pretty sharp anyway in my opinion. Close up diopters are cheap, maybe play around with those and see what you think.

Is it a standard pitch tread? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
