the helicoid in the lens is a much better and more solidly reinforced one. you can\'t fit a really well built helicoid in an adapter that small (well not cheaply). both my hawk\'s helicoid adapter and my cheaper helicoid adapter have some wobble in the helicoid. also, corners are noticeably assymetrical on the cheap one (haven\'t checked to closely on the hawks, but it looks better). ...
A fine, small focussing helical is going to cost, but we have the technology. Case in point are the various focussers for classic Leitz Visoflex which are beautifully-machined brass with chrome finish. Timeless functionality, and not cheap. The OUAGO focusser for 90mm Elmar head adds 15mm of extension.
I expect C/V to make a passable version.
