Cameo Reverse lenses

[akdg87]

Anyone know where to find some? I've tried ordering from several distributors only to find out they don't make them anymore... Even called the manufacturer to verify and they said that they were discontinued.

Thanks

I'm interested in this. It's possible I could set up a reproduction process as I know someone who does this for other similar parts.

Question: do the lenses have a GUIDE number? Question 2: is the GUIDE number different for each year?

They were really selling for only $9? Hard to imagine much of anything Cameo specific going that cheap. Makes it hard to see any gain in the deal, going through all the setup stuff.

Any good pics of the lenses around? Links?

are left and right identical? looks like from the catalog.

Do you have an original in more or less perfect condition that could be used to make a mold? It wouldn't be damaged.

Are they clear, no color or tint?

I have one with "GUIDE RIA-55"

[tmoble]

Chuck, do you know if they're the same 55-58? I've seen it before where the GUIDE number stayed the same as long the rest of the lens was the same.

Got any pic at all?

[akdg87]

I would buy a set or a few, No luck finding any.

[ChuckDriver]

I would bet that they are the same for all years.
