Extremely Long Apo Ronars?

[cyrus]

The price was right considering.

Yes, it was.
Of course, we're talking about 7-foot bellows draw for 1:1

Cyrus,
You have quite a rare lens there.
How are you intending to use it?

24x28 wetplate camera. The glass was flawless btw. I'm having a carpenter friend build a special box for it and am considering my options in padding. I was thinking using some "velvet"-lined neoprene but am worried about out-gassing from the rubber and its potential effects on the glass.

Does the Apo Ronar CL 860mm/35" 14f fit into a shutter?

Mounting in an Ilex #5 or Compound #5 should be possible but the cells probably aren't a direct fit in either. Not inexpensive and you'll have to provide the shutter. But if you have the money, honey, skgrimes has the time.

I think that there is no Apo Ronar CL 860mm F14. There is a CL 890mm f14.

I had the oportunity to use one in a Sinar board with a Sinar Copal DB shutter on my P2 5x7. This lens was similar in size and shape to my CL 600/9.

Still, looking at that list of the larger lenses, has anybody actually used one?

Have you ever seen a real process camera?

The local photo store had one for sale for several years; never did sell it.
It was as tall as I am with a bed about 20 feet long. The bellows was maybe three feet long collapsed.

The preceeding is for the lens in NF mount. Not in shutter. At f22 @1:1 it covered 16 x 20"(40x50cm). The 420mm was available as an Apo Ronar So which one do you have?

This is good information I don't see in the old brochures I have. The 420mm seems to be omitted for some reason. I have one in good condition and am looking for another one, to go on my 5x7 twin lens Sinar Norma

Beauty Lighting 790mm F14 Apo Ronar 5x7 Norma by Nokton48, on Flickr

Setting up to use the big 790mm F14 Apo Ronar on the 5x7 Sinar Norma. 47 inches of bellows extension equals 1 1/2 stop bellows factor. Will try some horizontals, using HRU XRay and also Ilford Ortho Commercial.

I placed a large order for 13x18cm B&W (buying a variety) from PhotoImpex in Germany. Should be shipping soon as Ilford delivers to them 13x18 Delta 100. Ordered FP4+, Fomapan 200, Fomapan 100, Adox CHS 100 II, and Delta 100 all in 13x18 format. I have plenty of 13x18cm Sinar Norma holders

5x7 Bergger 400 I just ordered from Adorama
