Greetings Ladies and Gentlemen, I have in my possesion a 7 inch Verito in a studio shutter which I would like to start using. I have a few questions, firstly I see a lot of different sizes on the web but not the 7 inch.Is this a rare lens and (you guessed it) how much might it be worth(glass perfect, barrel a few chips no dents)
From previous post I expect it to cover 5X4 or 5X7 in a pinch, is this about right.I will have to get a mounting ring made up or if any one here has one for sale please let me know.Now the tricky part, I haven't got a camera and since the studio shutter is a sh#@*er I have been thinking about getting one of the grflex cameras with the focal plane shutters(I was bequethed a few lens in barrels).Will the front lens board stand up to the weight of the verito(its pretty hefty at just under 1/2 kg)Also by how much does the focal length increase when you remove the front element and what coverage would this allow. "Questions ,questions always with the questions" as my dad always said so go easy on this noob. Many thanks for any light that can be shed peace and goodwill fergs
