First I want to thank all who provided input for a lens for my new acquired (old ) 5x7.
I purchased a barrel lens with no flange for use with a Packard shutter. The le ns is an 18cm f6.8 Dagor. It's old, has some imperfections and some cleaning ma rks on the real element. It should be fine for making contact prints. It cost all of $39.00.
My question is how to mount this lens without a flange? I was planning on makin g a custom board with an extra piece of wook glued to the front. I will drill a hole to the size of the barrel and then glue the lens in the board using silico ne or something. Has anyone tried this or is there a better way to do this? Lo oks are not important anymore with the new 100 dollar Ansco.....
thanks,
steve
