Thanks for all the nice responses. Keep them coming. Mark, if yours has the glass up front, that's it. Mine just has the aperture. Try it both with and without the front glass and you'll be able to see the difference quite easily. Focal length is changed slightly with the front element, but not like a Verito. It's more like a 10 or 15% change.
As to workshops, I've toyed with an idea of giving one on one workshops for folks who would like to play with a host of giant cameras and weird optics to see what is what without making the corresponding huge investment.
Ash, can folks in UK get equivalent custom number plates? California USA is even more generous and would allow me to register the beasty with original matching 1939 plates if I found them. Nevada won't allow that. My kids bought me the fancy plates for a fathers day present
