Originally posted by wolfiegirl Sounds like a plan. Speaking of frankenlenses i also bought a rifle scope a while ago. Any idea if it'd be any use as a lens?
No idea ... but I would guess that the image circle would be quite small depending upon the diameter of the scope. Good question.

Originally posted by savoche That's strange. I can see it no problem.
I found another version, cheaper, simpler, and without threads. Not as easy to incorporate in a lens "construction" I'd think.
Ebay - IRIS-DIAPHRAGM-Aperture-Blade-For-Camera-Lens-Adapter-0-8-7-5mm-10-Blades
I read somewhere that it doesn't take a lot of force to push the lever too far and mangle the iris blades on this one.
Both of them seem to be sold by jinfinance, if that makes it any easier to find them.
Edit: The "advanced" one can be found here as well:
Saddle Merde ... still can't see it : "Unfortunately, access to this particular item has been blocked due to legal restrictions in some countries.

But I think that I get the idea ...
Oh, here's the herd of lenses that I picked up at the annual Poitiers swap meet. All 5 for 18€ total ... Yes, I'm completely nuts.
The SFOM will be a paperweight on my desk since I ready have another one. It weighs a ton. The Zeiss Ikon Talon is the middle belongs to savoche ...
