Sean M Murphy Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Well I got a SWEET deal on an Angenieux Zoom off ebay and I need to find a dog leg for it because (shock and aw) no viewfinder comes with it. My bolex is non relfex and I really want to play with it using the reflex prism so I need to find a compatible viewfinder. I found one on ebay that says it will fit an eclair... looks like a smoking deal http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...A:IT&ih=011 however if it doesn't work for the lens I bought I want to find something that will. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ishan vernallis Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 that angenieux viewfinder is for an eclair acl camera... i seriously doubt it could be applied to a 12-120 lens. it'd be like hunting for a duck with a decoy moose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean M Murphy Posted August 1, 2007 Author Share Posted August 1, 2007 I'll keep that in mind. meaning that finder wont work...

chuck colburn Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Unless your zoom is just missing the side finder you can't just attach one to a lens that does not have the the proper rear optical housing. Two different optical mechanical configurations altogeather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just need the dog leg and having never needed to find parts for this kind of lens it's strange territory. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck colburn Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Sean, We used to yank them off of Ang. zooms all the time when the owner went from using an Auricon or whatever none reflexed camera to an Arri or whatever. I would think that Century Optics or some other lens repair facility would have a drawer full of them. Saw one on ebay a week or so ago. If you find one I could probally talk you thru on the mounting and the alignment of the mask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll look them up and let you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Michael Carter Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Whitehouse Audio Visual, Ken Hale ? I went through the same thing with a 9.5-95mm lens that had the dog leg removed and the hole plugged up with epoxy. However, I've learned how to use it as is and it is great. Martin Hill & Associates may have an extra one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
