to access front ring for anodizing, lens must be fully dis-assembled. a full CLA is required. Front ring is not separate form the chassis. Cannot anodize without affecting the focus and iris threads. Offer to repaint instead.

Offered for: 16mm, 24mm, 32mm T2.1 only to achieve 3 full focus rotations.
cannot offer this for other focal lengths because the focus threads will be exposed and cannot achieve enough rotations.
Not normally offered unless specifically requested: 40mm can achieve additional 1/2 rotation only before exposing focus threads. requires installation of additional stop pin in focus ring for hard stop.

80mm front ring: 20mm T2.1 does not have threads in front for 80mm front ring. A delrin ring (no filter threads) can be installed to increase the diameter to 80mm.

non-OEM, reverse engineered but copied original design to best match lens.
