Beaulieu 6008 Schneider-Kreuznach 6-70 zoom

[Perry Paolantonio]

It's my understanding that this is a C-mount lens once you remove the motorized zoom control box that's attached to it, along with the larger ring screw mount. I'm wondering if anyone has instructions on how to do this?

 

I've taken out the three set screws that hold the collar that the zoom control seems to be attached to, and I was hoping the whole thing might slide off or unscrew, but it's not happening. So, I feel like I'm missing something.

 

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks,

There are four screws; you've overlooked one

Four set screws? One must be underneath the zoom motor then, because I only see three on that collar.

 

...any idea how I get the zoom motor off without a hammer?

are you sure its a c=mount lens, once the LCU is removed? we are talking about a 6008 with 6-70 lens with a larger mounting ring that screws to camera body? Pretty sure my late 6008 with 6-70, the 6-70 had no c=mount thread.

Hmm. I think you're right. It looked like the back element could be c-mount, surrounded by a non-threaded stainless steel ring, but now that I measure it with my digital calipers, it's just smaller than the diameter of a c-mount. So I guess it's on to plan B!

Slide the macro lever over and you'll see the 4th screw.

Sorry, I misread the post. Thought it was a 5008.

It doesn't have a screwthread. And the LCU is fixed to the tube too.
