IndiSNAP Lens gears... my review

[seanmcleod]

I had posted about the flex gears earlier and mentioned I was getting the new snap gears, so here's my initial impressions.

here ya go



wonder how much torque these things can take. My 135 mm lens is very stiff and requires a decent amount of pull on the focus. Wonder if the lens will slip inside the rubber foamies.

How much they go for? Definitely need to pick up one or two.

Working now, thanks guys. Good review. My 105 also requires a fair bit of tension, so I'm a bit wary. Where do I buy these? I don't see them on the IndiSystem website.

Just give Tim a call:

Don't be wary guys, the foam is tough and provides a very snug seal, it feels the ridges and valleys of the focus ring and grips it for a solid hold.

How much are they?

I think he's charging about $25 a piece, which is insanely good pricing... don't quote me though, call Tim and ask him.
