Re: Eclair ACL Nikkor Lens gears?

[Les Bosher <les@lesbosher.co.uk>]

I make Aluminium Gears for follow focus . In my experience nylon or acetal
gears are not rigid enough to stay true , feel rough on the FF ,are
generally white (yuk) & don't last 5 minutes . To cut them in black Acetal
would save me a fortune in Manufacturing & anodising costs , but I can't
afford the loss of happy customers.!!
If you are detemined to waste money the teeth are 0,8 Module
