What to do. I'd love to set my SG up with my new 150mm. But the cam is for a 135. No so terrible, GG focus is still the best I'll admit. But it would be nice to use the RF occasionally.
So.... to find or make a P43 cam.
I'm not a machinist. So cutting my own is out. Finding one seems to be worse than finding hens teeth. I can live with the 135mm on this box, but I prefer the 150mm.
Mpex doesn't have any, and none seem to exist anywhere.
Someplace there has to be one. Of this I'm certain.

Drats! - I just posted a new topic on this up above - I made a 150mm cam last night. What are the chances? Please read my post, I hope it might help. |

Fred Lustig sells them new. I have his number at work, so do a search on this site to find it. I think he wants $75 per cam...but at least he has them. Lens and Repro in NYC may be another good source. |

Hey thanks you guys.
I actually called Fred yesterday just to see what he thinks.
He's setting me up with two cams.
I didn't think to call him untill after I posted here.
Lens and Repro have a few cams, but for other focal lengths. I have personally gone through their box of cams and widgets. That is one aspect of working there that I sorely miss. |

How much is Fred charging for his cams? |

Got my cams today. Excellent turnaround time. Both appear new old stock. Now all in need to do is install stops and set infinity for the 150. |
