Thanks to wonderful supporters, I was just able to cheaply buy a C-mount zoom lens from some USSR-age camera (interesting thing, BTW, it allows zoom with much light going through), that will assist adjustment of C-mount thread.

No promises about that one yet, but it seems that interchangeable zoom lenses for N900 camera are closer than ever (for "fat" backcover and/or body replacement - no sane way to fit it into flat cover variant)

Wow. What can I say. Your initiative and resourcefullness don't cease to amaze me. Yeah, those USSR lenses are the best bang for the buck! I'm guessing you picked up either a Helios 44 (or some other model) or a Jupiter lens. The Helios 44 (if I remember correctly) is simply a re-implementation of the Zeiss Biotar (this was possible because of the split of Germany between East and West, and some Zeiss factories left on the East side I think).

In any case, this is an amazing development. If you can make this work acceptably, this will add a ton of additional value to some people to an already great project.

Please, write me down for 1 (fat) backcover replacement (1 for now).
