Abstract

A positioning wheel resiliently engages and moves an optical element to a selected position within a channel of a holder mounted in front of a camera lens. A brake mechanism prevents the optical element from accidentally falling out of the channel. A handle-operated camming mechanism provides for a quick lock/unlock interlock of a rotary holder in a desired angular orientation.
