Can someone please tell me the inner and outer diameter of thorlabs tube used in many DIY static DOF adaptors? Am I correct that it has 58mm male and female threadings and Nikon`s lens reversing macro adapter goes in front of that tube?
If someone can answer quick enough it migt be possible to turn this Thorlabs tube static design into vibrating DOF beast ;)...

Thanks in advance,
T

no the throlabs tube is 2inches round and the threads are 52mm and yes, the nikon macro does screw rigth on the end. It would be next to impossible to turn that into a vibrating design, too small of a glass, the nikon D screen barely fits inside of it..but please correct me if i'm wrong, i would love to see you make some plans or give it a shot...i'd be willing to help out seeing how i have my static design already using the thorlabs tube.
