    I just got a Carl Zeiss 50 mm f/1.6 436 nm S-Planar industrial lens. It's got a 76x1 mm screw mount. Any ideas on how to get it mounted on a Cambo Actus plate? 76x1 to Leica screw mount adapter?

    A lathe, I'm afraid.

    I'm not familiar with the Actus unfortunately, but the Novoflex Balpro T/S / Rollei X-Act 2 have a plate with an 58x0.75 mm thread... (58x0.75 to 76x1 mm should be available or at least easily doable by RAFcamera and others)

    Is there something similar for the Actus? If not, someone should contact them to make one asap... that's one of the most important accessories for any bellows in my opinion.

    Good idea. However, RAF doesn't seem to have any 76x1 adapters.

    Is it 76x1 or maybe SM3?
    I did offer one #0 or #1 Actus lens plate drilling a 77mm hole in it and then mounting the lens with retaining ring.
    Look at these: www.thorlabs.de/newgrouppage9.cfm?objectgroup_id=3384

    Edit. Their retaining ring has external SM3 thread but a short tube with internal thread could help.
