A recent sale offered front and rear "elements" for a Schneider G-Claron 270mm lens, stating that they would fit a Copal # 1 shutter. Sometimes these offfers seem to be good deals but it is not entirely clear what is needed to get the lens assembled and ready to use. I am specifically interested in using the lens on my Deardorff 8x10 and I have asked sellers these types of questions but they do not seem certain about all the details. What is clear is that the front and rear elements must be able to screw onto the shutter and a suitable lens board and mounting ring are necessary. But is there more to be thinking about? Are there other pieces needed that are not obvious? Are there assembly variations to think about before jumping into one of these "kit" assembly purchases ? What other problems might one encounter? Thanks. Gary
