It's crazy that the Schneider helical fits perfectly with the focus scales being perfect as well.<br />DirkDirk Fletcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07765056749688732906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5205567675347457393.post-90551533202053770572017-06-26T00:07:06.540-05:002017-06-26T00:07:06.540-05:00Ok yeah the schneider helical is impossible to fin...Ok yeah the schneider helical is impossible to find.

The body seems to be designed to accomidate it perfectly. The most current schneider helical is expensive, running around 400-500 dollars. The classic one that I used seems to match the camera body perfectly and while they are hard to find, are generally in the $200.00 range. I have mostly seen them with a 47mm or 65mm Super Angulon installed on them already.Dirk Fletcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07765056749688732906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5205567675347457393.post-44061732335512705292017-03-27T09:12:17.407-05:002017-03-27T09:12:17.407-05:00They seem to go anywhere from $300-600 for the bod...They seem to go anywhere from $300-600 for the body only. Make sure the ground glass is intact, I'm not sure how easy it would be to add a new one should you need it.
