    I think Steve Grimes also makes an adapter which works like the Schneider.

  6. Macro work using enlarging lens with 4x5 what compensation is needed?

    John,

    Thank you for your answer. I imagined that this would be the case, but I wasn't certain as I haven't used this combination before. It is now clear.
