Hi guys, I need some help please.... I'm building some macro binoculars slowly buy surely, I know I need some bits from a seagull 4 camera, can anyone supply pics of the camera and the bits I need to take off. Also I've found 3 variations of the bell &howard 220, has anyone got a pic of the centre knob on the prop? I've found a variant that's cheap, the same shape but a different colour so I'm trying to work out if I can paint it.

thanks for the help.

You can use any color of the B and H 220 knob since this was painted grey on the prop. There are a few pics on here. Try doing a search using the word macros. I will dig through my files when I get back on Tuesday.

I have read that topic, to be honest I am using this as my main information base. But I didn't find what I wanted. Having read the thread again with a clearer head, I have the b and h part sorted, the Kalimar and seagull will be the Tricky ones obviously. Thanks for the direction to it.

Well I've got the servomatic, the bell &howard and the seagull, all for roughly £100. It's now the kalimar hunt. I've missed two on ebay, both went for over $300 dollars each. Anyone got any tips?
