It’s no issue actually. Since the monocular is essentially an auxiliary lens (similar to ones you slap onto the front of a camcorder) you’re all good.

Yeah that’s not a bad idea. How would you suggest I mount and integrate the flat bar to the existing tripod mount I have? I don’t mind something being custom but if I can, I’d like it to be a bit more modular I guess? So if I plan on doing something similar in the future, I can play about with...

I have an odd case scenario where I’m butting up a monocular (previously a binocular) to an old Polaroid so I can get some additional magnification. I don’t know very much about equipment and I need some advice: What would be the best way to mount this set up on a single tripod? Or if a bunch...

Thank you for the good luck! And yeah, I seem to be one of the few people who are trying for optical advancements and adaptations for the SX-70. I mainly just need auxiliary lenses but it’s hard to tell which ones are because I don’t know enough about optics

Oh sorry I misread! And it’s a Polaroid SX-70. I do a lot of modifications to it.

I appreciate you giving your input. Would you mind explaining what a projector lens actually is and how it functions? i wonder if there’s any way I can actually use this lens on my camera

I got myself a Hama HR12 which is a mirror tele lens that gives a 12x magnification. The only details I have of it are: Lens for video cameras Thread connection: 46mm Mirror reflex Magnification: 12x Diameter: 76mm Length: 215mm Weight : 530g End of production: 1989 My issue is that I...

It's something I want to know more about as there's a chance I may need to build a lens for my situation.

I just had a quick scan and it looks great! Thank you :D

An auxiliary telephoto lens that attaches to the front of a lens can use a variety of groups/lenses. Some use 2 groups with 4 lenses, some use 3 groups with 5 etc. I'm unsure how it exactly works and i'm looking for somewhere to learn. Is there anyone that can explain how the optics work and...

Brief background: I have an odd case scenario where I have a Polaroid SX-70 and can mount 37mm threaded (auxiliary) lenses and filters to the front it. The 37mm thread is fairly common with camcorders and I know this is a photography forum but I thought you guys would have more knowledge on...

@stevelmx5 Do you know what kind of lenses i'd be able to use with that frame on the SX-70?

I love the mad professors of this community ahaha

Who would've thought that making a camera would be so hard ahaha. I appreciate all of your help guys. @stevelmx5 does your camera have the flexibility i'm after?

Well that makes things tricky hmmm
