Just received a shipment of adapters to cover some current projects that I’m working on. Including the 25mm, 38mm, and 45mm Scanner-Nikkor lenses, one is for a Scitex LFOV, and another for a Linos Modular focus mount, plus some others, most were custom. All of the adapters worked as advertised, all threads were machined as specified for a perfect fit. The custom adapters took Raf just a couple of weeks to be finish.
EMS shipping took only 8 days to travel the 8,000+ miles or 12,874 km from Belarus to Los Angeles. That’s really speedy considering that USPS in Southern California can take 3 or 4 days to travel only 30-40 miles.
