That was GOOD news. My yellowed “Made in Canada” Summicron looks as uniformly yellow as a yellow filter. So, I’m off to Ikea.

Thanks,

Herb

Chances are, no. The Canadian Balsam cement that was used in some years has a tendency to yellow, but that look is more like an oil slick than a yellowing. Like this:

Does this apply to f/2 90mm Summicron M designated “Leitz Lens Made in Canada”?

Ha- perfect timing on the Ikea lamp trick- just been looking into the depths of my Super Takumar and wondering what to do- good thing Ikea is on the way home!

Look on ebay at the Kras-3 kits. They go for <250 USD these days. They often come with a m42 mount 50 and a 135 lens too. Most importantly there is a 77mm x.75 diopter in the kit too that helps out if you own an iscorama too. So you'd get all that plus a cool 16mm camera paperweight… oh yeah and the shoulder mount kit you want too. Flip the diopter to the Isco guys and pick up chicks with the 16mm. Pays for itself…

Instructions for making it are in the above post. Pretty easy hack actually.

Wow man, this has got to be the coolest mount I’ve seen yet. I’d pay some decent money right now if I could get something like that in my hands. Any ideas how to make one of these? I first need to get the old shoulder mount I guess? Did you glue the quick release to the mount?

SO. FREAKIN. AWESOME.

Well done…
