That's an interesting find. Thanks for sharing!
I'd love to hear how it goes with the re-centering ring as I've been considering one. Keep us updated on your progress if you have time.

Let us know how it goes. I'll be on the lookout for another one of these rings.
I assume the installation is fairly simple.
But I wondered, might it be easy to knock off your flange focal distance with a DIY installation like this on a K3? My specialty tools on hand include a flat-blade screwdriver and one wooden yard stick...

I noticed an ebay listing for a re-centering ring for the K3. You can find it by searching completed listings, but I've included a screenshot here for convenience. The item was listed out of Belarus. $120 US buy it now price.
Is this a new idea, and does anyone have any experience with this seemingly simple solution to super 16 lens mount re-centering?

Is that a safe generalization to make, even on cameras without the re-centered mount (as in the usual K-3 super 16 mod)? If so, I'm glad to hear it.
I am looking specifically for a wide-angle/fisheye lens for my K3 (m42). I am not too worried about barrel distortion for my purposes. Any of you guys/gals with the Peleng 8mm or Zenitar fish happen to have any stills or clips of those shooting super 16?
Great thread... once I found it. Should this be moved to the russian 16mm section? I certainly would have found it much sooner, but it does have some useful general 16mm info.
Something that just came to mind:
If I am shooting a lens with barrel distortion, and the mount is slightly off center of the frame (as in the usual K-3 super 16 mod), I'm guessing I will have asymmetrical bending of lines from one side of the frame to the other. Is it too miniscule to be noticed. Am I over-thinking this? Ha, I think all of my posts thus far have concerned re-centering my m42... please bear with me and my mounting insecurities. ;)
