MOD - 3D printed filter mount replacement for Voigtlander 35mm F1.4 II Nokton Classic S.C in Leica M mount

 It's a mini showcase article on recently designed 3D printable front ring for Voigtlander 35mm F1.4 II Nokton Classic lens.


 


I've developed couple of 3D printable rings earlier that are able to mount on Voigtlander front chrome lens ring and cover it. With Voigtlander 35mm F1.4 Nokton models it is more challenging task and introducing extra bulkiness by using covering ring. So after some experimenting I decided to replace the chrome ring with more sleek 3D printed version of it that does not have hood mount petals.

Tinkering with photo equipment is my big hobby. It's often quite challenging to explore disassembly steps or designing new useful accessories, but also a joy to share them later with people. I keep these activities apart from primary work, though appreciating a small tips for a coffee if you find my shared results useful.
