Called Calumet for another price. They are researching it. He doesn't know my postal address is Beverly Hills. Yeah, people are jealous these days. They see "Beverly Hills" and assume you're loaded. PS I sent email to Bob Salomon few weeks ago, and it bounced back to me. I will try call.
OK, I just looked at B&H and noted the following prices for Schneider helical mounts:
38mm SAXL: $361.95
47mm SA and SAXL: $378.50
58mm SAXL: $329.25
65mm SA: $329.25
72mm SAXL: $378.50
Can you accomplish what you want with the Schneider lenses/mounts instead?
Oren,
Funny you should say. I just got off phone with Bob Salomon and that's one thing I mentioned at end of our conversation. But he also suggested checking Rodenstock helical focus mount prices from other dealers, but Rodenstock version nevertheless significantly more expensive than Schneider's.
I am a Rodenstock fan via experience with their enlarging lenses, but will consider Schneider ultra wide angle LF lenses for the task. They have excellent reputations also.

Chances are you left off the corp. Or spelled my name wrong.
In the same boat here. I'm a huge Rodenstock fan - I think the Apo-Sironar-S lenses are pure magic. But Schneider makes great lenses too, and for a couple of special ultra-wide applications that I've been pursuing recently, I've ended up going with Schneider. In one case there was no Grandagon with the required specification, while in the other case it was - surprise! - the ability to lay my hands easily on an affordable and appropriately-matched focus mount that sealed the deal.

I'd go for the Schneider lenses.

Which is $901.00 at todays rate of exchange without shipping or duty or brokerage.
