old Cambonar Caltar mot. IRIS anybody ?
« on: January 01, 2011, 07:49:31 am »

Hello,

I got 2 old Cambonar Mot Iris "monster" lens housings and am willing to hack them for my Cambo with DSLR on the back.

Has anyone already done so ?

Or has anyone some more lying around with or without glas ?

Need to get more for a usefull setup.

They are rather old and were sold together with digital backs from Megavision

I have 3 or 4 of these left siting in a box.   I've opened them up and number of times and monkeyed with them a few times - even caused a couple to smoke and pop after loading them too much.   I was able to get them to rotate back and forth but that was just one end to the other based on polarity.

I have always been interested in making these useful for something which is why I never tossed them out.

I had one with a 60mm apo componon HM inside that still had it's original aperture and could be used as a normal lens. My 90mm macro i mounted in a copal 0 shutter and works just fine.
