Wondered if anyone knows of a lens barrel adaptor for a Elmo lens to fit a Eiki/Elf barrel fitting. I think the lens barrel size for the Elmo is 40mm and the Eiki/Elf is 42mm?

Or is it just as good just to use some duct tape for the time being???

Hello Robert.a better idea would be to get some sink waste pipe
from a plumbers or DIY store and make your own adaptor.If the
lens and a piece of pipe sleeve are just a shade too loose,then
cut another piece,split it length ways and it will fit over the top
of the sleeve quite neatly.You can glue if you wish and sand if
need be.Quite simple and effective,also cheap,
