Sources for custom focus rings and mechanical accessories for cinema lenses on DSLRs

15 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.

What the thread found

  • Duclos Lenses supplies custom-fitted focus rings for Zeiss lenses but requires sending the complete lens set to ensure proper fit rather than shipping rings alone.
  • JBK Cinema Equipment manufactures aluminum focus rings and does not require sending the lens, only the lens diameter specification via email.
  • Custom mechanical parts like spacers and cable caddies can be fabricated quickly for specific rig configurations and gimbal setups.

Depends on

  • The discussion does not specify which DSLR models are compatible with these rings beyond mentions of Canon 5D and 7D.
  • Pricing information is not provided for any of the mentioned solutions.
  • The thread does not include technical details about installation or compatibility verification methods.
