This isn't necessarily a repair article, although there might be several nuggets on info for getting your Dental-Eye (v1) repaired. It's a commented and illustrated guide to removing, adapting, and rewiring - to an external flash - the entire 50mm macro lens assembly from the original Dental-Eye. There is an update section with improvements, and several links to other articles in later postings on adapting other Dental-Eye versions too... www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/4274131 |

Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place, but I don't see the 50mm Dental on the lens list.

Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place, but I don't see the 50mm Dental on the lens list. All three versions of the Dental-Eye's are fixed lens mount cameras ( like this Dental-Eye v.1), and the lenses are (semi)permanent... so there are no standalone dental lenses. Each one of the three models can be cannibalized to remove the lens/flash assembly and by using some creative mounting techniques, they can be adapted for digital use. They're more complex than using something like 35mm slide projector lenses in helicals or macro tubes, and especially if one wants to use the ring flash - so it does take a bit of extra work to get something truly usable. |
