Dan,
I was in error, the ILEX is indeed an ACUGON. I must remember to put glasses on to help 77 year old eyes.

Dan,
Thank you for your insight, I had no idea the age of the lenses or if they were worthwhile users. I will take your advice and try them.

You might be able to use a prescription bottle cap as a temporary cap. Tony

Bob ,9x12.As I stated I'm new to large format.Does plate holder mean that the camera uses glass plates or can it take film?
