[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I have now fitted the replacement flange to the Zeiss f4 18. It seems perfect for that lens. Another poster on a different forum has confirmed what you said as well. I need to find the contact details for Zeiss if I can get the flange replacement from them. Thanks again.

I explicitly asked for a flange for that lens, so perhaps John Milich is not aware of this either. I shall try the flange on my f4 18 next.
