Hi All,

Thought I'd give you folks a crack instead of putting it on eBay. I am willing to part with my 55mm Mamiya W/A lenses that I built many years ago for use with the 3DWorld TL-120 stereo camera. I have had great results with them over the years, many of which I shared with some of you at the conventions and in the folios. Unfortunately I no longer own a TL-120, so they are of little use to me.

They are aperture coupled and stop down from f4.5 to f25. Focus is fixed (around 8 feet I believe), which at f:16 or f:22 means everything should be in focus for a typical stereo image.

I used it for the first and second models of the TL-120. All you needed to do was unscrew the 4 screws on the front plate and replace the current lensboard with this one and you're ready to go. The nice thing about the TL-120 is you can do this with film in the camera and not expose the film. Without the need to focus, it's almost point and shoot!

There is a photo I took a few years ago in the photo section:

I cannot find the lens shades. I'm asking $600 plus shipping (from Canada).

Please contact me offlist if interested.

Thanks,

Sam Smith

OMG, Sam. Coveting your rig is what drove me to go make my own
TL120-55. It pains me to think this might not be snapped up.

Everyone, this is a rare opportunity to make your own TL120-55!
