Motorized Cannon Lens

When i got my new lens i wanted to motorize the lens so when focusing it can be done by the computer. So i used my motor that i use for the telescope focuser. This is what i came up with works great.

Now that is pretty clever Phil, I know of some one else who uses stepper motors to do that same job, well done.
