There are people who have made a replacement front plate for the Eyemo with a Nikon mount on it. Not that difficult for a good machinist. You could also start out with a single-hole Eyemo front plate, machine off the Eyemo mount and attach a Nikon mount (with the right flange focal distance)

It is possible to mount a Nikon lens on the Eyemo without machining away the existing mount and JUST BARELY have it focus to infinity. However, Calkovsky Camera and Lens at 707-658-2628 has a vast array of original new-in-box Eyemo lenses selling for next to nothing and I would recommend just

Calkvsky and “next to nothing” in the same sentence? Really? He’s legendary on eBay for prices that make one ask what he/she is smoking. http://www.ebay.com/sch/calkovskycameraco/m.html?item=271225691566pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0hash=item3f264f9daert=nc_trksid=p2047675.l2562 On Mar 8, 2014, at 5:47

Yes! I think I got a 21mm fixed-focus Wollensak from him for $10, and a 135mm Miltar for $20. He seemed like a good fellow. Is he another Chambless? --scott ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com

That is being hard on Chambless! Look here. Filled with both misinformation and ridiculous prices. (I like the movement for the “hand-cranked” Wall camera — given that the Wall was a 35mm single-system sound camera.) http://www.calkovsky.com On Mar 8, 2014, at 6:19 PM, Scott Dorsey

Technically it's possible -- Eyemo flange to focal distance is 1.5" and Nikon is 46.5mm -- but it would have to slide internally into the Eyemo mount, and most Nikon lenses have a shroud around the rear element (and preset levers) that will get in the way. An aside: when Nikon introduced their
