Hi Jim

Thanks very much for taking the time and for the advice.

Thanks Dan. I already tried this - unfortunately the holes i will need are non-standard (as far as i can tell) - 2 seiko shutters (slightly larger than copal 1) and a bunch of projection lenses. The...

Thanks for this very useful information. I had picked up a set of figures that were different from the graflex.org website (.49 inches rather than your .05 - the author left out a significant...

Thank you very much for the tip. Unfortunately, as I have about 7 lenses to mount (some projection ones that weren't expensive), I am loathe to spend $45 per board. So I'm probably going to either...

Thanks so much Steve, for your help and offer. I think I will end up using this method. Will get in touch if I need to. Thanks again for the offer.

Thanks very much for the tip Dan. Got a slew of hits.

Hello all

I plan to make (or have made) a few of these in wood. I don't intend to bother with the curved bit that wraps around the light trap - i'll cut it straight. I have the following...

Thank you very much for the pointer. Exemplary wide angle portrait work. I think it is a challenging genre and his execution shows what striking portraits are possible -he even uses distortion...

Thanks a lot for your response. I shoot a lot of environmental portraits and i occasionally find things a bit tight and then need to reach for a wider lens. I already have a 135 6.3 and a 150 3.5. I...

Thanks to all - I let it go as it clearly wasn't designed for 4x5. Though i knew that already I was happy to use it for portraits as long as it was a case of fading and softness at the edges rather...

It would appear that you can't feed me either. The lens i referred to was a 105mm 3.5 but I see you've been corrected already.

Thanks for responding. The lens i'm talking about is a 3.5, not 4.5 and isn't listed anywhere that i have seen.
I also have a 150 mm. But, yes, i like environmental portraits and feel you can make...

Not a huge fan of large foreheads and shoulders though they do have a certain something to them. but that's not all that's to be had from wide angle portraits

Thanks to both of you for responding.

My intention is to use it wide open for portraits on 4x5 film. Does the fact that I don't need it at infinity help? I was unable to find any info on its image...

Hello all

Thinking of this lens for 4x5. I know it was designed for 6x9 and is often found on the Linhof Technika IV but i hear from the seller that s/he has been using it on 4X5. Can anyone...

Thanks Mark.
I received some advice (via PM) telling me that the main difference as far as the bellows are concerned is a narrower front standard on the Commercial view.
Thanks again.

Hello

I have an option on some 2D parts and i am hoping to scavenge the lens holders, GG and bellows for use on an Eastman commercial. Anyone know if it would fly?

Thanks
