Man when I saw Star Wars for the first time all I wanted was the macribinocs! I ended up buying an ordainary set of 10 x 20 binoculars and used to haul them everywhere. I grew up on a farm just like Luke and I still have them. But I never forgot the macros. And now of course I'll start looking for the parts!

Thanks a lot Cameron
I would love to see your early macros built.:thumbsup As we've spoken I'll help you and watch for parts, too.:thumbsup
Hey, nice prop you made there. i was wondering, i am an Eumig Collector from holland and is should not be agreeing with what youre doing but i know what a ridiculous amount of cameras came out of the factory and i like very much how they are repurposed. my question is, the parts you dont need for the prop that come from the eumig (especially the front plate with the logo). could i perhaps buy them? i have a unilectric thats missing this very plate.

If you want some of the vintage style round head screws... just ask
Sounds cool. Currently I'm fine with those I've added
You're such a nice guy :thumbsup

Hold on. How did you get that part from the reference pic you posted?
Surely the angle of the reference pic obscures that area?

Can you point the thread out to me please, Clutch - I've not been around for a long while and would love to
see any new or better pics of this prop?
Are you able to share them, should you have them?
I have Googled and Googled and then Googled some more. Heck I even hit Yahoo and Bing. There is not a lot out there so if you could share anything good you have that would be awesome.
Thanks
Tom
Do you mean the knob on the triangle piece???
Is that a recent discovery or is it new because it was news to me here just recently???
Thanks and well done.
Tom
I found the camera back in 2004. It doesn't seem that long ago!

The triangle piece with the knob's new to me - I'd love to see pics confirming this arrangement - although from the 'garage' scene shot (when Luke falls back as R2 displays Leia's hologram and he grabs the Macros preventing them from falling from his belt) I can see the angle (a small section in black) which represents the build above, that Cameron mentioned.
I just think that a thread should be made to consolidate all info found - as I know a lot of members have a great interest in this piece, myself included.
Cheers Tom!
