[QuadList] the 4th turret type sockets and eye hanger things///hanger for...

Thanks   Brian!
Ok to steady the  long lenses I can almost  envision a  rig of cables and 
turnbuckles...
 
In my catalogs here aside  from  the heavy zoomars  there are lot of really 
long fixed length lenses   that did not  come with  turret hole plugs that 
had  hook   eyes on them like the zoomar kit offered. 
 
It makes sense  to anchor to  SOMEWHERE  on the turret instead of the  
camera in case you ever  wanted to rotate the turret while it was rigged.
 
Pondering this... One thing to  consider though in even using the other 
turret positions while a really long  lens is on one hole you would have a 
problem of the shorter wider field   lenses SEEING  the  long lens in the 
picture... In Fact it  would  seem that the  35 50 90 and 135 Eastman Kodak Ektar 
lenses in a  normal turret would have to be positioned correctly also  to 
prevent LENS  IMAGE INTRUSION in  the  fame...
 
 
Thanks,

. Hi Ed

 
Re the "hangers" if this was a BBC camera  I would say that they were for 
attaching safety bonds to hold the lens if they  were to fall.
 
Sorry for late rely, in box overload.

the 4th turret type  sockets and  eye hanger things///  hanger  for??? 
lens??   I have  a few turrets that are  set up this way.   so I suppose these 
anchors  could be   to stabilize a long lens???
