Winkel zeiss incident epi and lomo frame compatibility question

#1 Post by Delamington_lens » Fri Apr 07, 2017 3:28 am

Hello all, I've been wondering if the zeiss winkel slide in (side) illuminators (H/PL?FL incident etc) fit the similar lomo range of stands? (turret holder/ frame head)

I am cautiously optimistic, but expecting a slight variance of a few millimetres; because it would be too good to be true.

Has anybody done this before?

Anybody know if they are interchangeable?

It appears that no member in this forum has tried it, otherwise you should have an answer already.

Maybe try this forum: http://www.photomacrography.net/forum/v ... m.php?f=25

Do you have the Zeiss illuminator in hand to do measurements? Do you know what those "similar LOMO range of stands" are?

I have a small Biolam and member Crater Eddie has some LOMO stands. But I am not sure if my stand is what you asked for. What exact measurements do you want?

No clue here, as I don't have EPI for my stands. Some photos might help though.
