Can anyone tell me what is the flange distance of the Kowa R's bayonet system lenses (for Kowa SER, SET, SET-R)? I can not find it on the web in any of the usual sources where the flange distances of the different mounts are shown. I intend to build an adapter for these lenses using a scrapping of a SET-R camera and it would be very useful to know that data beforehand. |
That sounds like an interesting project. I can't give you an exact figure as the Kowa SET-R2 camera we have is jammed (surprise!), but a quick'n'dirty measurement suggests around 55.4mm. This is from the film plane to the front of the bayonet mount.
Hope this helps, and good luck! _________________ Dave, HCL |
