Moderate wide angle lens for 7x17"

[Keith Pitman]

I don't remember what this piece of hardware is called, but it's easy to find at Lowes/Depot. I think they are used to join threaded rods (aka "all thread"). It is one inch in length, so it fits in the extrusion. This one, of course, is threaded all the way through at 3/8-16. Drill the hole a little small, and then file to the hex shape which keeps it from wobbling. On the other side, I used a 3/8-16 bolt and washer to lock this fixture in place.

I found a picture of the bracket with my 4x10 mounted.

Keith,

Very interesting. Thank you. Time to go shopping.

Thanks,

John

Good thread that has helped me with 7x17 lens applications.

Only 2 years old, but how does a ULF thread ever become obsolete?

[William Whitaker]

Perhaps not obsolete, merely forgotten. Way too many distractions in this business...
Again, my vote for a ULF sub-forum to try to keep relevant matters up front.

My fave lens on 7x17 is the 270mm Computar...just magic on that format..240 Computar is a bit too wide for my needs..verticals are no problem with the Ries..and if you want more stability..just bring 2 tripods..which is probably a good idea..still have yet to try the 210 xl on it..jeeze that's wide..

Somewhere I found this list, and now I cannot remember where. I also cannot load it as PDF, so here is the first page.

Within that mess, I have this lens.

Anybody use this?

Movements would be tiny, but my glass is clear and the shutter perfect despite the dirt on the shutter. I need to clean it.
