Canon FD 300mm f2.8L second generation

With my new 3D printer, and the help of my daughter who is keen on making 3D models, this project is realised so quickly and it's a BIG success.

It was pessimistic about the thread (77mm 0.75 tpi) but it turns out to be nearly perfect.

It can reach infinity focus with some rooms.  So now this little lens could do autofocusing with asiair!

Other than the above adapter, I will be making two more:

a. 2" nosepiece in order to be used with my 85mm refractor for fine focusing

b. SCT female thread in order to be used with my SCT

I can then sell that CYCK focuser.
