Problem solved - DOUBLE PRESS "ok" does it.

The manual suggests that a user can zoom the viewfinder by pressing "ok" - that isn't working for me for one reason or another. Instead I get random metadata and a prompt to "save." So let's start there, can you actually zoom the viewfinder? USE CASE: I'm trying to improve focus on C mount lenses.

@Tyler Purcell - I know you love the Beaulieu 2016 quartz but I note that while you mentioned it, you didn't recommend it on this thread. Is this because they are so difficult to find?

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.
