threedi Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 I have been looking and looking for any sort of mount for an Iscomorphot 8 1.5. Redstan no longer seem to supply these and I coudnt find anything else that looked any good online.So I made my own.I thought this may be of interest to anyone else looking or having the same problem.The OD of the Isco lens body is 37.1mm approx so I took a 37mm thread to 43mm adapter and opened up the ID in the lathe until I got a nice slip fit over the Isco body,I then drilled and tapped a small hole to accept a set screw. I can now retain the lens within this 'adapter' collar and screw that into whatever spacers I need to mount to different lenses.The set screw is the cup tip type and it holds onto the lens really well.I make sure the lens is set to infinity before sliding it into the adapter and setting the screw as that is its shortest length of travel in this position.About £10 in parts too Mario Gorlas and valid 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
