FAQ
What do I do first?
First. Start by filling out our question and intake form so we can give you an accurate idea of cost for your set of lenses. here’s a link….. CLICK HERE
How long will this take?
Currently we are saying 7-10 weeks once we receive and start working on your set. If you need them faster there is an expedited per lens cost to shave time down to 2-3 weeks. That number may move based on the amount of service on your lenses needed or wanted prior to V35 upgrade.
What if I want to service my lenses before upgrade?
If you would like to service your lenses or perform any work prior to the V35 upgrade taking place, please let us know ahead of time, otherwise if something is wrong with your lens, which would prohibit it from being converted, we will let you know. Service cost will be additional to V35 modifications. In general, to speed up the process, any service work should be done ahead of your placement.
How much is the deposit?
The deposit is roughly 650.00 USD per lens applicable taxes/fees. You will be invoiced and wire instructions sent to international clients. This deposit is NON REFUNDABLE.

2,500.00 USD Per lens for Tuning.

How do I know the condition of my lenses?
If one of your lenses has issues that do not meet the threshold of our conversions, we will reach out and let you know. Email us for a breakdown of what to look for.
What if I don’t own a set of Lenses?
No problem at all. As dealers of most major brands and thanks to our partnership with New Life Cine, we can get you good pricing new or used sets!
How close to the vintage lenses do they look?
While we can never fully replicate the older optics coatings, we have done our best to get as close as possible while fixing some issues with some of the older lenses. Some creative liberty has been taken, but overall we have tried our best to replicate a majority of the look of all our vintage sets.
Who do I talk to if I have questions?
If you have questions, feel free to shoot us an email and we will get back to you as soon as possible. info@v35project.com
What happens if I can’t make my final payment when the lenses are ready to ship?
If you have paid your deposit and shipped your lenses in and work is completed, you have 15 days from time of completion to pay your remaining balance. We will give ample timelines so you have plenty of time to prepare for final payment. If you still cannot make your final payment, you will forfeit ownership of your lenses to Northwest Camera Co to be sold. So please make your final payments.
