I think you’re spot on, Bryan.
I need to keep my eye out for one, as I’d love a Dagor version (incl. for 8x10/11x14).

Also, I’ve never seen ANY G Claron with a Waterhouse slot. Still, could be a mod for specific use.
Some of the G Clarons don’t fit Copals. Especially the earlier S/Ns.
I have a Degor 305mm with 11xxxxxx S/N that doesn’t. Pity; would be great to compare it to my Plasmat.
Try removing it for...
Seems a big gap between elements. I’d suggest measuring the assembly with and without the. Lens board to see whether there is a difference. I can measure mine* in a Copal 3 for total mounted size if...
Ummm…. Pretty sure that’s a “W S” clearly marked on the front of my lens….
And, what I wrote still holds up when you read what Kerry wrote about Fujinon lenses: “ Early samples were single coated...

Matching serial number lens and packaging.
Just to muddy the waters, no space on the box printing; space on the lens.
For what it is worth, I believe that the “S” nomenclature...
Wow; unexpected result!
Sad to see that, if it is the same, he died very recently…
Thanks for the help.
I was cleaning up some 8x10” film holders today and found a signature on the back of one of the dark slides.
As best I can tell, it’s Jerry XXXX.
Any idea on whose this is?

Where was the FL demarcation? My 180mm is in Seiko. And, I’ve seen multiple 250mm in Seiko shutters.
Link seems broken.
For a Fresnel?
I’ve got the clips but have never used them.
Never had a sheet come loose, and don’t really understand how they could. There is a very satisfying snap when you get a sheet in place and its own...
They’re not “essential”.
The sheets slot into the gaps between the ribs. Also works for 7x17” sheets up against, the outside ribs (with the extension tube), so I suspect that you could also do...
If your 2xxx tank has the ribbing inside (12 and 6 o’clock) where there are 3 ribs on the 12 end and a single one on the 6 o’clock, you should be able to slot 8x10 into these ribs. You will go over...
Where are you located? I’ve got the equipment if you get the film and dev.
Or 4x5”?
Try searching for this - it’s a topic that has been covered ad nauseam over the last few decades here…

You do know that we (the rest of the world) don’t have “IRS”, don’t you..?
(We do get IBS from parochial assumptions, though)
You do realise that this is an international forum, don’t you?
Just take the lid off, put in the reel, fill so that the top of the reel is covered by 5-10mm of water and then decant into a measuring cylinder.
No need for trial and error with volume…
What...
It’s got nothing to do with format.
It has to do with process/testing methodology.
You wouldn’t test a digital lens’ sharpness by shooting fine detail at highest ISO. So, to, you can’t gauge...
Do you prewash?
Maybe on 25asa film shooting line pairs, but not on a ground glass (with its 25000asa gritty surface).
You will never see the difference on the GG of shim vs no shim.
So much written here about shims…
You will NOT see any difference, whether shims are there or not, on a ground glass.
This is something else.
Do you use the paddles?
Check verticality of the front standard. It’s got a very heavy front element that might be torquing the standard forward, effectively adding tilt.
You might find that you have a horizontal and or...
They won’t be needed for inversion (they act to “scoop” liquid into the film whilst in rotary).
If you have them, I would still recommend them as the centre the reel and hold it in place. Perhaps...
Heaps of movement on my Kowa Graphic 240mm (barrel) on 7x17”. Impressive lens.
There are reports that not all GK’s offer the same IC, though.
This one doesn’t allow the front cell to be...
LM-404CL with an Acratech head.
Also have the Manfrotto MT057C4-G that has a Majestic head on it. I use this for 8x10 and 7x17.
Might swap the heads, now I think of it…

Thanks, Greg.
Are you sure you don’t mean Angulon, rather than Super Angulon? My 210mm SA out-covers my 7x17’s movements, including with maximum tilts. I don’t think there would be that much...
A few years ago, I asked a question about the Schneider 165mm SA’s ability to cover 7x17 (circa same IC as 11x14”) as there was some speculation that it might; however, there was no definitive...
Is the Kang Rinpoche S 600 F11.5 still being sold?
Leofoto.
Angulon probably won’t do it well (if at all).
The Super Angulon definitely does, though, although it is MASSIVE.

Are you sure you want a Plasmat for portraits?
Have a good read of the rules. It will be explained there.
