I am restoring a complete lens of this type from two damaged examples. Before I go to the torment of designing and building a PL or direct IMS mount for this lens, does anyone have a clue on a machine design diagram for a PL mount for this lens? Unfortunately, neither lens carried any style of ARRI mount so a remake of the mount is the only option. The lens is many years out of product support and there were not a lot of them made.
The question some may ask is why, when the trend is towards 4K and Super35mm sensors? My rather weak reply is - it is a case of what is affordable and that I am still using the SI2K camera system and probably an instance of "because I can" versus "if I should".
This lknk leads to a reduser thread which show an example of the type but not one of the actual lenses in my possession. It appears to have been PL-Mount modified so it gives me a clue on what is required design-wise.
If anyone has or knows anyone who might have a design, any advice will be muchly appreciated.
