On the long and short lens focal length front, the best you can do is to put
them opposite each other on the turret. Some Pye cameras had a splayed out
turret to ease this problem.

  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...

  . 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???
