Lens Holder idea

This is a new lens holder ive come up with. It would use a thumb screw for fine ajustment (40 turns for a inch movement) i plan on machining this part out of Delron-err spelling? but its a self lubercating plastic that would provide smooth action along the 1/4" ground SS guild pin and the 1/4-40 thumb screw. This part would attach to the back of the lens and would allow full range of motion from all the way back (as far back as i make guild pin and thumb screw) and all the way forword.

Also could change it a bit and hook a motor up to it to make it an auto focuser🙂

This part is the piece that would attach to the lens itself

Hey i have a favor i dont have the fuji copy lens yet trying to get one but i got the dimentions off from the surplus store could any of you out there that have like calipers be able to take some mesurments for me i need the dia. of the lens im just not sure on the dimentions but i can just scale it if i need to change it so no biggy-thanks

Bace

This right here is the lens holder bace it would be attached to the frount pannel of your projector and would be made out of some sort of alloy (would want nice and shinny) and as you see to the left there is a round pocket that the thumb screw head would sit into not sticking out at all but a bit to the left side for ajustment and the guild pin would be a press fit so thats not going anywhere.


But yeah if someone could please mesure the lens i dont want to make these parts and find out i have wrong dimentions i just need the Dia. of the lens. You can use a caliper or best used with micromitor-err spelling?

Well thanks i have many more ideas for other fixtures and desines i just need to get the parts in so i can take mesurements or find them out some how in advanced

BTW most of everything is CNC machined so the fit will be very good aka no light leaks!!
