Massive step up lens board adapter. This adapter goes from a 8 inch lensboard and takes a 10 inch board. It has to mushroom forward about an inch to clear hardware on the front of the camera. #skgrimes #lensboardadapter #deardorff https://www.instagram.com/p/Cr1JDUSuG1U/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

72mm filter adapter for a Copal 3 shutter. Used to add a larger filter to the front when using just the rear optic of a convertible lens. #skgrimes #convertiblelens #copal #filteradapter https://www.instagram.com/p/CrTDM-JO6we/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

PL mount to Sinar P3 adapter. This adapter gives 10mm of recess for mounting PL bayonet lens to a Sinar P3 standard. In order to get more recess, the lock ring is on the rear. This does cause the lens to turn when locking and rotates the lens from the twelve o'clock position, but it helps clear material from the front for the expansive housing of the lens. This one was design with the Leitz Cine Summicron-C lenses in mind. #skgrimes #sinarp3 #sinar #plmount #leitz #leitzcine https://www.instagram.com/p/CqvsVOBOGrr/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Copal 0 adapted to a Rodenstock Alpa HR Alpagon 138mm. This lens comes with a iris, but not a shutter. It goes onto an Alpa camera, so new digital backs will have shutter timing capabilities and iris will work fine. This conversion makes the lens useful for backs without that feature. It requires some disassembly, but the remount is straight forward and maintains all the original optical spacing and floating rear optics. #skgrimes #alpacamera #alpagon #remount #copal https://www.instagram.com/p/CqdEDynuKU7/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Modified Sinar Copal shutter cable release. We were given a damaged cable release where the tiny screw for locking was damaged and the firing button was missing. Because the shutter requires such a long throw we adapted the old cable release to have a modern, easier to use locking mechanism and a new firing button. #skgrimes #cablerelease #sinarcopal #sinarcopalshutter https://www.instagram.com/p/CqVUmCVOax9/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Rotating lens clamp. This clamp features a built in ring for our customer's lens to step it to 95mm threads and has a slot at the base for attaching the clamp to their rail system with height securing flexibility. #skgrimes #lensadapter #lensclamp https://www.instagram.com/p/CqDheTtualJ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Fuji GFX680iii to Fuji GFX100 camera adapter. The adapter has the electronic contacts to notify the 680 camera that there is a back in place and can shoot as normal. Unfortunately, the distance of the sensor is set back from the focal plane and limits the focal distance. Other digital backs would have more focal range (perhaps infinity) without the camera handle and bayonet system of the gfx100 adding so much spacing. #skgrimes #fujigfx100 #fujigfx680 #digitalback https://www.instagram.com/p/Cph4bwtOLW-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Pin hole turret from a Nikon pin hole adapter transferred to a Technika 45 lens board. The system had a detent which was also transferred in the process. #skgrimes #technika #pinholecamera https://www.instagram.com/p/Co5RiHFuSq_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It's a flange, but not the typical design. It squeezes this very large barrel onto the board and clears the locking mechanisms. The screws bolt in from the rear to provide the slimmest profile possible. #skgrimes #flange #lensboardmount https://www.instagram.com/p/CoFmmc3uwa3/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Micro Four Thirds adapter to a PCO Panda 4.2 camera. We were able squeeze on the bayonet adapter for the m4/3 mount by replacing the bolt on adapter at the front on the camera. #skgrimes #microfourthirds #pco https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm6p7YXuruo/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Carl Zeiss Sonnar 250mm remounted to a Prontor Pro 3 shutter. This remount also features a Hasselblad bayonet adapter on the rear. The front housing of this lens needed to be completely rebuilt to fit the shutter. The optics are transferred over to the new housing. #skgrimes #carlzeisslenses #sonnar #remount #hasselblad https://www.instagram.com/p/CmZCzxDO6K8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Locking adapter for old brass lens. This lens originally featured a gear and arm for focusing, but this lens lost the feature at some point. This aluminum adapter with two set screws returns some of the control, while also locking the location in case the camera is better suited to control focusing. #skgrimes #brasslens https://www.instagram.com/p/CmWjBLzOgH2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Meyer-Optik Gorlitz Epidon 420mm lens with a mounting solution to a Sinar camera. The lens has no mounting threads so this adapter uses a ring with a delrin ring and four set screws to secure the lens at any location along the entire barrel. #skgrimes #sinar #epidon #lensboardmount https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl80WAiu1mI/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Rare OKC5-28-1 (28mm f:4.5) lens adapted to a Hasselblad XCD mount. Adaption includes a tripod mount to take the weight of this massive lens off the camera and a short throw helicoid in case any focal distance adjustment is needed. #skgrimes #hasselblad #hasselbladxcd #28mm https://www.instagram.com/p/CkyZuWSuNjA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
