I intend to make this lens available to any member of IIS for a nominal fee that will go to support the site.I have to iron out the mounting to make it more universal. The two 110mm mounting rings look like a good start.Unless someone can come up with a better alternative.
The good thing about this lens is it will be easy to make a T-mount adapter so any SLR or DSLR or even a cooled Astro CCD will work with it as it is fully manual. There is room for filters in the rear.Here are some pics of the rear of the lens.To fit my 20D I just superglued a canon T-mount to the Arriflex retaining ring.I am going to get a universal T-mount made with the Arriflex retaining thread and an internal thread to take 48mm Filters or 32mm (1 1/4" eyepiece).The lens takes 40.5mmm rear filters already.I have yet to work this out.
