Hi,
I'm sure hoping that someone has seen this lens before - and can tell me if'n it's suitable for mounting in a shutter and for use on a 4x5 camera.
The research I've done indicates that it's possible - I'm curious to see if anyone can give me some first-hand knowledge of using one.
During a recent scrounging session at a closed photography store I came across a bunch of enlarging lenses encased in (what looked like) inserts for some form of enlarging machine. I grabbed them up and when I got home took them apart. Ended up with a couple of mint El-Nikkors and this strange bird.
Here's the lens (the flange that's around the middle of the lens was used to mount it in the aforementioned 'insert'):
My research has shown that this is a macro lens and that it should work for anything < 1.5m. That said - is it worth getting it mounted in a shutter?
Any ideas and/or insight would be greatly appreciated.
Rick
Postscript: Sorry about the crappy pics - the only thing that was handy was the phone.
