Squarefront LOMO lens covers

[Patrick E. Coker]

Any idea on how to get replacements? I know I'm asking for the impossible but hoping someone else had this problem and found a solution.

for a while RAF camera- you can find them on line or ebay - offered some they were manufacturing - reach out to them - they looked durable and much better than the original

Hiya, if you get like three people interested and you guys can figure out how to make it worth a few hours of my time, I'll cnc some out of delrin. Be quick though, the slow time is short, soon enough I'll be busy as hell again ;-) I could probably do a square front to 138mm donut as well for matte boxes. Depends on how much free time I have.

Edit - my solution was to machine them out of delrin ;-) I did it manual last time, but it really isn't much to cnc them. Find some interest and I'll figure it out. Not worth doing one or two.

get calipers, load up sketchup and get them 3d printed.

Please count me in

These are hard to do well if you don't have a lens to fit them to (my lenses are off in rehouse land). Brandon, if you take measurements and pictures, I'll make some for you and we'll see how they fit.

I'd like some delrin lens caps for my square fronts!

 

[Nick Gardner]

Seriously. Somebody take some measurements and I'll whip some up. It's pretty straight forward.

Have you had success making delrin caps for square fronts and round lenses? Where do you buy the plastic?

 

[Nick Gardner]

I make lens caps all the time. It's not rocket science. I buy Delrin from the plastic supply house on route 40 or ebay ;-) I made caps for my square fronts but I did it manually and they are on my lenses which are not here. There are also three different flavored fronts to square fronts that I know of.

Give me the measurements and i'll throw a piece of delrin on the cnc machine.
