Hi everyone,
I'm new here, but APUG has already been an invaluable resource. I just got a Omega D6 with a dichroic II head for a very good price but without lenses. The lens board is a turret which holds three lenses and each of the turret mounts has a smaller metal octagonal piece which attaches to the turret with screws. All three of the smaller pieces currently have different hole sizes (one looks like it was hand shimmed).
I'm shooting 135 and 120 so I picked up a 50mm el nikkor and will be getting a 80-100mm lens soon. I'll have to return the 50mm because the condition is pretty bad, but I'm wondering how I mount the lens onto the board. I'm assuming there's a nut ring of some sort that the lens screws into, correct? Is this a standard size, or do they vary with lens types/companies? And then how does this nut connect to the lens turret?
Sorry for the clueless questions, and thanks for any help.
