Hi,
Did a bunch of googling and searching here on the forums - all to no avail. I'm trying like hell to mount a 162mm Wollensak Raptar onto a D5 (and get it to focus when using a 4x5 neg).
I'm kind of new to using this enlarger. That said, I've used it successfully for 135 and 6x45 (with a 50mm and 80mm lens respectively) with no issues.
As far as I can tell - and please do correct me if I'm wrong - I need to use a lens cone to mount the 162mm lens to the enlarger. No problems there: I spent a great deal of time last night playing with every lens cone that I own, again to no avail.
I've got the following lens boards / cones: flat, 1 1/2", 2" and 5". From what google and my searches here tell me I should be using the longest of the bunch - the 5" (??). When I mount the lens in the largest lens cone and try to focus on baseboard ( for an 8x10), it appears that I don't have enough bellows draw to make that happen (??).
I've got no ideas left to try out. I'm well and truly stumped on this one. LoL
Any ideas on what else I should try?
Thanks,
Rick
