I spotted this lens on ebay and bid hoping the photo sonics was easily replaced with an exakta mount I could scavenge from a dead lens. No such luck. I decided to create my own. Lackin a lathe I used hole saws, welder, grinder and fabled a bell. I sandwiched cheap short m42 extension tubes to get a proper mount. Fortunately 1in flat (which i bent into a ring) and 2 x 1/8 plate plus the extension tube were about a mm on the good side to reach infinity. It goes about an eighth turn past infinity. Looks decidedly homemade but is robust. Which it needed to be as the lens is heavy!

Will didn't do this, I did! /j I have a buddy named Will and I always try to sneak in jokes like this.
"Why are the military always so read to fire at you, Will?"

I checked out PHOTO-SONICS on google and apparently they built high speed film cameras, some certainly for military and likely also for science. Some 70mm stuff available on e-bay. I can't imagine what a high speed 70mm custom film camera might cost back in the days when that was the cutting edge!
