As I mentioned in the original post, he's very friendly and is easy to talk to. I am not in a position to comment on his pricing - that's between him and his customers - but it's easy enough to email him and explain what you are looking for. Also, I found his work to be very period correct. The flanges I'd seen from some of his competitors were CNC'd and didn't have the appropriate hand-crafted look. They seemed far too modern to fit appropriately on a 19th/early 20th century lens. I think that his prices will be competitive, but I'd pay extra for a more period-correct piece.
