Valentin Meneveau Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Hey everyone, I recently bought an Angenieux 5.9 f1.8 to be used on an Arri SR2 N16. It seems like the lens is just about too long and touches the mirror - not allowing the standard mount to 'click in' and lock the lens. Another thread on the forum addressed a similar issue with a PL mount, and more interestingly, highlighted a custom adjustment made to the lens's rear element: It seems that this element has been custom filed to allow extra space to fit between the mirror and internal elements of the camera. The lens I have received has the same element without the filed adjustment: Alternatively, I have noticed another version of the same lens with a different rear element, probably taking in account the need for extra space for both mirrors and internal components in the camera mount: My questions are: - Shall I return the lens I bought in the hope to get one with the right rear element? - Shall I try to dismount the final metal ring and file it as seen in the first example - Can the last rear element be bought separately and swapped, fitting it myself. Thank for any insight and help, I'm pondering whether sending the lens back or not. Thanks, Val Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
