I need the lens securing ( mounting ) ring for this Alphex shutter lens. Do any of you know where I may be able to find the ring for this lens?
Thank you.

Google: retaining ring
www.grainger.com is good.
No kidding, they work, sometimes with an appropriate washer in front of the thread.

The Snap ring is a good idea if I cannot find the proper securing ring.
Frankly, it isn't worth it. Use hot glue.
I agree about the ring, will be more expensive than the lens/shutter... Hot glue is fine...Quote:

I will be using it for close up work. I bought it as salvage 35 years ago so nothing lost if it does not work well. The self cocking shutter is a plus.
