Has anyone ever made their own zoom gear?
Trying to DIY it. I have a metabones adapter with my Tokina fisheye lens. Was able to make a cylinder with a little "window" to make room for the metabones switch that gets in the way.
Issue is I can't find a solution to make the zoom gear (that's on the lens) bite the gear that connects on the knob (the one that's connected to the housing.)
Besides this, planning to buy some other lenses and dont want to spend an additional $50 every time I do so. Plus DIY is fun and frustrating.
