Re: Eclair ACL TS Lens Aadaptors Available

[Mark <super16acl@aol.com>]

I'm not at all an expert on optics, but if the individual adapter units such 
as the ones Robert refers to are properly collomated to within .01mm (=1/2500 
inch), (as I'm sure they would be), then it seems to me that it shouldn't 
really matter if the stainless steel ring that locks it into place against 
the flange is a separate piece. In fact, I've had times where I thought my 
Arri adapter was flat against the flange once the retaining ring was tightly 
screwed in, only to find that somehow it wasn't perfectly flush --- but I had 
no way of knowing because it's had to tell since the attached retaining ring 
doesn't really let you see how the adapter is sitting on the flange. I can 
actually see an advantage to first sitting the adapter flatly on the flange 
and seeing that it is seated properly, then sliding the locking ring overtop 
of the adapter and screwing it down. I think that, at the very least, there 
is equal merit to this approach. Here in the States, a factory ACL Arri 
adapter sells for $300-$500 from dealers. Mark.
