Locking Jacket for Soligor 1.33x Anamorphic (Century / Optex / Kenko Panoravision)

thingiverse

My anamorphic lens was incomplete, with no way to mount it. So I had to make a custom housing to attach it to my lenses. Now I've got 52mm threads on the back, and 77mm threads on the front. There's a locking screw on top, which prevents the anamorphic lens from rotating once it has been aligned properly. Additional parts needed: - 52mm to 58mm step up ring - 72mm to 77mm step up ring - 77mm to 72mm step down ring - 77mm lens cap - one M3 nut - one M3 bolt You can find the knob I used to lock the rotation here: [Knob for slotted screw M3](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4568846). There's another hole at the bottom where a nut can be inserted. I was playing with the idea to make a detachable lens support, which could be mounted to 15mm rods. Looking forward to shooting with it now that I can mount it! From what I've read online I may need a [single focus solution](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4003635), or an [achromatic diopter](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Deg9557WjAY) to improve close focus results. But this could become quite inconvenient when using variable ND filters... so I may look into that in the future. The anamorphic lens also has two screws on the back, which could be used to mount a thin oval anamorphake disk, to emulate the 2x anamorphic bokeh. Could be fun to try at some point too!
