In Reply to: Kern-Paillard SWITAR Lens Question posted by Webb on August 27, 2003 at 08:12:44:
: Hi There,
: I picked-up a B&H Auto-Master and it had this Kern-Paillard SWITAR 25mm 1:1.4 lens threaded in the turret. The problem is that it doesn't thread all the way in. It bottoms out before the flange of the lens contacts the turret. It appears the threaded section is too long.
: Is this a C-mount? Is this lens for Bolex cameras only? If not, what is it? It definitely has the corret threads for a C-mount; just too long for my B&H's.
: Thanks!

One other item of curiosity about this; in both photos the lens looks distorted; the rings not parallel, as though it had been dropped. Could be a trick of perspective, but sure doesn't appear so. No relation to your fit problems, but could be a great problem for any intended use if it's been damaged.
