Does anyone have a source for the smaller, 62.5mm lens that will fit in a Cinemeccanica 3 lens turrent?

Thanks....

Don

Both ISCO and Schneider offer the 62.5mm lens OD for the vast majority of their lenses. In the States, they are special order since that is a Euro lens format. 70.6mm only conforms to the US lens standard of 2-25/32". How they arrived at that size, beats the heck out of me.

Anyway, if you are willing to wait, your ISCO or Schneider dealer should be able to help you...get your focal length correct since it will be a special order.

Note too the older "Kiptar" lenses by ISCO (Black and Silver) went both ways...just remove the Silver section to revel the 62.5mm OD portion.
