Alexander Boyd Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 Unfortunately I don't have the means to test/measure this myself (and I didn't find any info online), so posting here instead: I'm wondering if the protruding end of a Cooke Speed Panchro 25mm S3 (rehoused by TLS) might hit the mirror of a Moviecam SL? Since the TLS rehoused Cookes are in high demand and workhouses (and Cookes being used on 35mm cameras for ages), I can't imagine that this would be an issue.. However, I wanted to confirm this. Thanks for your time and help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Dom Jaeger Posted June 27, 2021 Premium Member Share Posted June 27, 2021 It should be fine Alexander. As you say, Speed Panchros have been used on reflex cameras for many years, and there’s no reason a re-housing would place the rear element any closer to the film plane than it should be at infinity. You can always mount the lens (set to infinity) and do a dust check to rotate the mirror to make sure nothing is interfering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
