Looking to convert OCT19 to PL

Try Focus Optics in Burbank. In the same building as Band Pro. Talk to Stuart. They make the Ruby lens.

Duclos guys do awesome work, but last I talked with them they weren't working on Lomos anymore. Covered up in their other products I suppose. Stuart is cranking out his Rubys but still has time for OCT19 and Lomos.
Best,

Id be interested in knowing how this works out for you. I've got a ton of oct 19 lomos that I imagine I'll have to convert at some point in the future. It would be nice to know what kind of cost I'm looking at.

 

[Vico Martin]

Mr. Sergey Kravchenko for sure!

 

[Michael Palmieri]

Call focus optics, he does great work.

 

[Alexander Alexandrov]

any other US options?
duclos & focus won't do it

http://www.reduser.net/forum/member.php?39333-Dima-TuraevNot a US option, but reduser Dima Turaev got in touch with me and said he could convert Lomos to PL.

 

[Alexander Alexandrov]

checked with him as well, he cant do a 22mm wide i have

 

[Rob Gardner]

Sergey can probably do it and he is reliable. Not Duclos by any means, but very good for the money.

Dima is fine, I think he is the same guy that does them for SPBsale http://www.spbsale.com/

Viktor (SPBsale) has done......3 square front anamorphics, 4 lomo speeds, 4 k-35s, and I bought 7 pl mounts for my lomo standards from him. If you have lomo standards from a kinor 35 studio package, you can just buy the mounts and bolt them on. It's explained on his web site.

I can check with an old co-worker of mine from back when I was in NYC. He had a Russian lens repair guy in Brooklyn, who brought back some of his Oct-18 mount lenses from the dead. He may be able to do PL mount conversion....

 

[Sergey Kravchenco]

Viktor (SPBsale) nothing to do himself ..all conversion for him made father Dima Turaev )))

working with Sergey.
i have a 22mm lens which is more challenging to convert, basically a custom machine job vs standard pl bolt-ons which could be done on tighter lenses.

I'm surprised that US lens machinists are taking on simpler jobs and are always overbooked. wondering if just a standard metal precision machine shop (non optics) would do it.

 

[Nick Gardner]

Part of the deal is you have to disassemble the lens partially, and machine elements of the lens housing, so it's not just a mechanical job. Which 22 are you referring to the 22mm anamorphic?

Nick

 

[Alexander Alexandrov]

yes 22mm squarefront lomo

 

[Andy White]

You're lucky to have the 22mm Squarefront anamorphic :wink5: but I know it is a struggle to remount it - Sergey's had experience with a 22mm recently.

 

[RobMNeilson]

Might be a longshot, but my friend has his Lomo serviced here...and said the guy knew them well, so perhaps he can do conversion.
