Hey guys i just got my hand on a 15mm Heliar from Voightlander (cosina) lens
along with the body. My firrt 5 rolls of film blow my minds away. It is very
very good lens. Very Contrasty. But with probably 1/2 to 1 stop light fall
of at the edge. Very sharp lens too.
And it i rectilinear. all in a very small package.
I'm thinking of mounting it in the 360 deg larscan amera to replace the
17mm tokina.
My consideration is It is a whole lot smaller. 15mm and rectilinear .
Now my problem . Since Heliar is not retrofocus design the rear element
stick into the camera body. So i cannot mount the lens to the body via rear
lens cap.
Question. What thread is the leica screw mount ??? I know it is 39 mm but
what pitch ?
Any easier solution of getting the mounting plate cheap ?
Machining one out of thick metal is probably not going to be cheap. and i
don't think extension tube is available for leica screw mount ,Or is it ??
Thank you in advance.
