Lens Clamps

[Harold Gough]

Not cheap but possible means of attaching lenses which you otherwise would do so with difficulty:

Harold,

Such clamps are useful items, but avoid those particular (linked) clamps......instead, go to Redstan.com (based in the UK); their products are exceptional (I have a few examples) and they are worthy of the lenses to which they are attached.

Redstan also occasionally list items on eBay.

Can the clamps be used for other adaptation purposes?...I expect so

Many anamorphic lens/adapters do not have easily adaptable front or rear threads. The clamps permit attachment to modern equipment and also facilitate correct orientation of the anamorphic attachment.

Some of the Redstan clamps I currently use:

(that's a Tokina +0.4, double element diopter attached...also purchased from Redstan)

Thanks, Craig.

I was not thinking of ordering but I opened up the subject for discussion. However, at the current price, the rush for supplementary close-up lenses could make the dash for JMLs look quite sedate!
