Yeah, I'm on hunt for the larger lens (150mm most likely) as well as tracking a couple of cones on e-bay. If I don't get one of those, I'll try the pvc idea. Thanks.

You have all been a great help. I have secured a 4x5 neg carrier, and a thank you to John Jarosz who is sending me a 6x7. Have a 50mm lens for it but keep getting outbid on the 80's:eek: Oh well,...
This does in fact take standard 4x5 holders. Your input gave me badly-needed direction. A special shout-out to Don Bryant for taking the time to sit with me and give the camera a look-over and for...
Oh boy . . . just answered my own question. I now see 5 lens boards for the D2 on e-bay, all with different openings.
Most lenses on e-bay don't list this dimension. Do I just buy one then look...
The springs had, in fact, been jammed. I was hesitant to "persuade" too strongly, but once you said that (Peter Gomena) I tried again. It looks like it will handle a holder just fine (pardon the...
Thank you all! John Jarosz, I will message you tomorrow (midnight here). To Cyrus and Heroique, the tip on an 80mm lens is helpful since I'm scouting several of those on e-bay right now.
Which...
Sadly I can't post a digital picture, but here's what I've got: There's a door on the back with a latch to expose the ground glass. On the side, the slot for the plate is spring-loaded so it can...
I have been restoring this glass-plate camera (4x5), and it now seems functional. This will be my first foray into large format . . . once I figure out one more thing. The slot on the cameras slide...
Thanks for the tip Brian. That'll save me some $ for now to put toward lenses, which will have me operable sooner. (Plus, I enjoy oddball projects like that.)
I just bought this glass plate camera. Bellows are in great shape, and I have gotten the cameras mechanical movements (rise/fall, tilt, and side-to-side) working smoothly. Camera was crusted tight...
Yes, that was it. Feel a little bit stupid for not investigating more carefully, but this seems a safe place to risk stupidity for the sake of understanding. Say, if I have trouble tracking down...
Thanks again Micheal (your second post was on next page and i didn't see before my response). Thank you for the word about the cone, and for the specific lens sizes for each format. This forum is...
Thanks Micheal. The diagram does indeed show the removal of condenser for largest lens. Though, there is still a diagram and corresponding slot into which this condenser does not fit, for the 135mm...
Hi Graybeard. Your question made me realize how much i have to learn. I thought the "variable" part referred to the set positions, since there is only one condenser in the compartment. It will fit...
I am setting up a darkroom and have an omega d2. It does not have a lens or lens board, and i have no negative carriers. I shoot both 35mm and 120 with a tlr. I also just picked up a 4x5 glass...
