Jonathan Chong Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 Hey there, I have a Schneider-Kreuznach Beaulieu-Optivaron f1.4/6-70 mm lens and once I remove the Reglomatic motors the aperture ring is really loose. I'm wondering if anyone knows how to give the aperture ring more resistance so that I can use it manually and keep the aperture in place without it being accidentally moved out of position. Is there a dampening ring that can be installed on it or any other tricks? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joerg Polzfusz Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 Why did you remove the motor anyway? If you need the plain C-mount-version, I would recommend buying it instead of damaging the Beaulieu-specific extensions that weren’t supposed to be removed.

Gaffer tape is probably a more filmic answer, if you have some, because it doesn't shed adhesive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
