Hi all-
I just received a Symmar 360/620 f5.6 convertible in compound shutter mounted to a Sinar board, and want to remount the lens into a wood board for my Deardorff. The trick is, the lens is essentially "front-mounted" to the Sinar board, and the rear element group seems to be integrally connected to the board, unless I'm missing something obvious. To get the lens off, do I need to unscrew the rear group from the shutter, or remove a retaining ring from the back? It looks like the ring on the back will remove the rear group, but not release the lens.
I guess I can always bolt the whole thing to a Deardorff board if I need to, but would like something a bit less clunky. Help would be appreciated from those who have played with these types of mounts before!
Thanks
Tim
