Saw this lens on ebay and it got me thinking. Does the B4 optical adapter have a power or is it a one to one optical adapter?

So 2/3" to S16. So if I figure right that means it has a slight negative power.
I think. lol
I like lenses. I also like motion picture camera movements. Oh yah and sewing machines, which are a bit more complicated.

Hi Chuck. No it is a positive power x1.23

Each year I go to a restaurant in Northern Poland where all the tables are the bases of old manual sewing machines complete with working peddles and flywheels. None of my kids have lost their fingers yet.
