Hi,
here are a couple of pictures of the I-61 I've done for Max
I chose a different way than the Rich Pinchbeck's method on Kiev survival site: instead of making a really thick shim I used the "stan-off ring" from J-8 lens. The ring can be moved a little to adjust the working distance... see the following picture:
PS: it might look like self-promotion, but I just had to show this off :angel:

Does this mean you did not need to use a lathe?

Noel: Yup - you're right Only a J-8 (not J-8M !) lens mount, J-8 "stand-off ring" and the optics module from I-61.
Unfortuantely it cannot be secured by the screw just as Kiev-mount J-8s are, and it holds there the same way as LTM J-8s - by tightening the optics in the mount. It's a funny coincidence that the optics of J-8 and I-61 have the same thread to screw into their mounts...

Crafty, note not a prejorative term.
Alas I dont have a scrap J8.
Noel
P.S. one hopes the mad Canuk professor will adopt your scheme...

This probably also means you can 'convert' a J8 to fit a I61 mount?

probably not... The I-61 sits very extended in the J-8 mount - almost as far in the front as it goes...
The J-8 needs to be closer to film than the I-61, so perhaps the other way it's not possible.

Thanks you saved me the screw driver time better buy another LTM then.
