I was warned about Schneider-Kreuznach's enlarger lenses small threads...

bought some anyway....

Now i can't find any adapters nowhere, that would bring those 24mm
screw mounts to M39 or M42...

I have a 23mm to M39 that came with a Meopta Belar lens, so a 24mm must exist somewhere....


Help........... anyone ?

I just buy M42 bodycaps; drill them out and fix the lens inside.

Some of my Schneiders are M25 x 0.5, not M24. You can get adapters like this for them:

Still fairly expensive for a piece of plastic.

C-mount is also M25, but with a coarser thread (0.75mm). You could use a Cmount adapter but the threads may jam.

Used adapter appears on ebay from time to time. May be it is a good idea to make some if there is some demand on these.
