Hi,
I've discovered yesterday my front ring and original cap were lost. I've used this lens 4 weeks ago in a rental studio and I guess it's the place where I ve lost it. Arghh
So this morning I'm trying to check some ring to buy, and after removing the front cell of my other Ilex #5 ( B&L Aero Tessar 4.5/254mm), I see diameters are not identical.
Is it possible? Ilex#5 shutter made for Kodak are different?
Do you know what is the right diameter ?
Thank you (and I apologize for my english)
