A month!!!! Now you tell me!! What kind of wild goose chase have you sent me on Joe!?!?!? 🙂 Kidding aside - I was about to go the SK Grimes approach so this is a life saver.

And for anyone else looking for the same for Kern Switars - Joe's response led me to this site: https://rafcamera.com/adapters/thread-adapters Where I was able to locate an adapter for the 10mm and 26mm Kern Switars too. Thank you Joe!

@Joe Fike - amazing!!! ...and the VND is exactly where I was going with this. Now I can use this all day every day and again at night! Thank you so much. Raaf

Seemed like a great idea - get a fast lens. So I got an Angenieux 25mm f0.95. I made the assumption that I could find a filter for it. I'm not sure that assumption was correct. Does anyone know the diameter/thread of this lens? Has anyone found a ring that will fit and allow for step up? Have the same issue with Kern Switars 10mm, 26mm, and 50mm. (did some searching already but seems like this remains a perplexing issue) Thanks for any insight. Raaf

Thanks for both responses @Jaron Berman and @Matthew Figueroa - these are the options I was looking for!

Nevermind... Looks like the best option is to cut all the foam myself. I've got this. Thanks...

Hi, Can anyone recommend a resource for getting a custom case created for a smaller sized 16mm camera and gear? The emphasis needs to be on shock absorption and dust resistance. Something like a pelican case with extensive, well fitted padding. Thanks for any recommended resources. Raaf

Volker, I didn't receive anything here through direct messages or on my external email account - maybe you messaged someone else? I sent you a direct message here on this site and it shows that you have still not opened it. Do you mind looking for the message I sent and sharing the photos? Thanks! Raaf

@Volker Bendt ? Anyone? 🙂 Still hunting for the apparently elusive Aspheron...

@Volker Bendt - thanks, I'll message you!

@Borja Llorens - I'm interested in buying your Aspheron 5.5mm for Switar 10mm.

Well that answers that! Again - thank you so much - I never want to wear out my welcome but your experience is invaluable.

Thanks Dom - very helpful and now it's off! So now for the even dumber question. There is a big gear on the winding handle, that when replacing onto the camera, that keeps it offset at the same distance as when the Rex O Fader was in place. Is there a 1) way to remove that gear so that the handle fits more closely to the camera body? 2) is this just the way the handle is supposed to fit? ...or 3) there is another handle that should be used? Thanks again! Making progress!

All, I need to remove my Rex O Fader to install the remote cable trigger. Does anyone have the instructions for this process? Thanks, Raaf

Thanks Dom - this too is helpful. I'll test it across a range of focal lengths apertures - maybe it will be great wide open!
