Well, I just got an enlarger lens for my 8x10 Elwood, and it is a sweet lens, 36 0mm Rodenstock APO in mint condition; but this thing is HUGE. I got out the len s board for my other lens to compare, and it looks like the flange on the 360 wi ll overhang the lensboard, and after I drill the hole, there's only going to be about 1/8" or so of wood at the long edges. This lens feels like it could go 7- 8 pounds, so this is a scary thought. I'm thinking so far my options are reinforced wood, have someone machine one out of aluminum, or maybe some sort of strong plastic. Any experience in this area? I gotta find a way to make this lens work on the Elwood! Thanx!
