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.
