I have just figured out how to put the Bausch & Lomb 5.25" Super Cinephor, a monster theatrical movie projection lens, onto the Plaubel Makiflex Standard. IT FITS AND FOCUSES PERFECTLY. Ten pound lens. F2! Perfect for Makiflex. Presently held to Plaubel board with gorilla tape. LOL But not out to infinity, very close-up only. About 18"x18" area image in proper focus. Amazingly lovely bokeh. Should work well for very tight portraits. The Makiflex excels at fashion and portraiture according to Plaubel. Rear of lens barely fits into Makiflex Standard body. It's HUGE. Will not fit Automatic model Makiflex, due to cables, smaller throat
Taken in my backyard, on our new lower deck. So enjoyable!

Nice set, Daniel !
Any pics taken with ?
Will like to see some.
Great job !
Thanks Miguel!
Actually I retire Dec 31st, so I will have lots of time for photography. This will be one of my new projects. I bought some J. Lane 6.5x9cm glass dry plates, they are ASA 2. So in bright sun, 1/125 at F2. Perfect for Makiflex. This will be FUN.

Two Bausch & Lomb F2 Super Cinephors. The Plaubel Makiflex takes 9x12cm and 4x5" film. Will be testing these soon.

It's a petzval projection lens from a magic Lantern. The brand is Emil Busch Rathenow and it's a mod. W. They come in various sizes but all are the same diameter so they Can fit in a brass sleeve. The coverage on mine seems really large for such a short petzval (180mm= 7").
This is a fascinating thread. I pickup up, several years ago, some projection lenses, one of which looks to have potential. It is marked Ernst Leitz GmbH Wetzlar Hektor f=17.5 1:2.5 but is not designed to fit the Rollie 2 1/4 projector as far as I can tell. I have no idea what it was used for or how old it is since there is no serial number that I can find. I have a Technika V board drilled out to its maximum size i.e. to the light baffle ring, and the lens fits loosely so will need some heavy gaffer tape. I will see what the image looks like, and the coverage, on my 5x7 Linhof Kardan Bi's ground glass.
