Adjustable adapter plate for Sony Samyang 135

[tomato]

A second hand Sony lens can be had for a bit less than the more popular Canon variety so after acquiring one of these, @Tomatobro machined up adapter plates to bolt it to my Moravian G2-8300 with integrated filter wheel. Initially, the spacing was calculated and some alloy spacers made to bolt up the lens to the camera body, but inevitably there was some tilt/spacing issues, so the spacers were replaced with nylock nuts on the other side of the lens flange, so adjustments could be made in-situ. 
I just need to make a soft light and dust exclusion collar to go around the outside.

Rev 2 now installed, the heavy camera was sagging off the lens so an adjustable bracket has been added which picks up on the existing tripod 1/4 UNC connection on the camera body.

Motorised focuser also added, still no clear nights….
