[FS: OPTICS] INTEREST SOUGHT. - CENTURY OPTICS 58mm 7+ ACHROMATIC DIOPTRE. 0AD-5870-00

[Robert Hart]

I have two of these close-up attachment lenses left over from old AGUS35 groundglass adaptor builds. If any one is interested let me know and I will list them on eBay. They can be used with some Nikon 35mm AIS film stills lenses with suitable step-up adaptors. They can be also used with CP-Ultra T* 16mm film camera primes except the 9mm.

They are unlikely to be suitable to use with cine lenses or cinevised stills type lenses which do not have threaded front filter mounts. Whilst they could be attached with innovations, many 35mm cine lenses and cinevised stills lenses have lens bodies which extend well forward of the front elements and would hold the dioptre too far forward to be ideal.

Achomatic dioptres confer a superior image compared to single element screw-in close-up lenses.

Furthur to the above, one of the lenses is new in the box, opened only for shipping damage check and is 100% for condition. The other was offered up to an AGUS35 in a jig but not fitted. There are small cosmetic marks but the optics are 100%. I rate it at 90%.
