Adapting Non-Photographic & Projector Lenses - Part 2: Lens Pre-Testing & The Rings Adapting Method

In this video, you'll learn the six-steps to determine if a prospective "non-photographic" (e.g. projector) lens is adaptable. You must go through each of these six-steps before actually adapting any non-photographic lens. If you skip pre-testing, you risk total failure and will end up wasting your time and your money.
After determining that a new lens is adaptable, it's time to adapt the lens using one of three different methods.
This video covers the first method of adapting a non-photographic lens - using "rings" to attach the lens to your camera.

Good info. At 08:15 you mention adapting a lens with step-up rings etc. by gluing fittings, but you don't explain how the lens attaches to your camera. It seems to lock perfectly in place when you turn it.

I often use "macro reversing" rings to mount my "ring" adapters to my lenses. I have an inventory of various reversing rings for each camera mount I use ( www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2334524.m570.l1313&_nkw=nikon+f+macro+reversing+ring&_sacat=0 ). There's no one size fits all when it comes to using the rings method, so I find it useful to have dozens of various rings in bins, and then it's a mater of experimentation to find a combination to works for a given lens and a given camera.
