Actually it was a kinda "etical" query whether or not to separate parts of an unique lens to put it in a shutter.....

Posted this as an answer in a wrong tread I believe... nobody would have found it and there was just one previous comment.......

I have been particularly interested in the Cooke Taylor-Hobson VIIb...

I have been particularly interested in the Cooke Taylor-Hobson VIIb wideangle anastigmats ever since I first saw the tiny little 82 mm, which I don't have. However I have aquired a mysterious 133 mm...

I did not bother to read the whole string even. If your house had stood since the last glaciation maybe and if your measuring devices were good enough (very good) you'd perhaps be able to measure the...

Tried in vane to find much information, what's the coverage of this lens ? I would like to have an old normal lens for 8x10.

My first LF camera was a Plaubel Peco Universal III 5x7 which I bought a Nikkor-W 210 for and later a 121 SA, then someone gave me an old noname wooden 5x7 folder which had a Zeiss Jena Goertz-Dagor...

Few digital cameras have an f:stop and typical shutter speeds used for LF... mine, a Ricoh GR has, up to 3 minutes on manual and yes spot metering, (not apertures) but isn't a very complicated way...

Well an Ebony SV45TE 4 wich I have, is not is not so much less expensive... and imagine just making a prototype like this whith all trials and errors for perfect fits by a cabinetmaker... I myself...

By the way, there are two different versions, f/6,3 and 8 or 9 I believe. What difference exept easier focussing ? Has one more coverage than the other like the versions of Dagor ?

I used to take my NPC Prohead and an old Gizo... or even an old geared Linhof, why not change to a Berlebach wooden 8033 like I did (integrated large ballhead) or 9033 slightlylonger folded, strong,...

Just Great ! By the way why don't you write another aticle on the thornton-Pickard rollerblind shutter !?

:eek: I notice...

I'm sorry to say the rear element is missing.... I must reclame it, the catalogue said nothing of the sort. Collected it today and although focus seems somewhat right it's a terrible mess in the...

Nobody ?

Anyone familiar with this lens. I just got one very fine in an auction and will build a large Thornton Pickard rollerblind shutter for it...

Bidding on one, should I contact the seller who claims "ideal for all 4 x 5 large format cameras" ?

cheers, Richard

Gee folks, thanks a lot

Richard

Sent to your mailbox, very nice of you, "Mange Takk"

Sounds like a nice offer. I'm quite handy as a woodworker etc. The lens is without an iris (it comes with holed plates like an Imagon) so I'm particularly interested in how the springtension is...

Building a Sinar lensboard-sized Thornton Pickard roller blind shutter for a 400 mm f/4 barrel lens. Anyone in the forum willing to share a drawing of the mechanics and construction ? I wouldn't want...

By the way, anyone ever saw an 82mm Cooke VIIB in a shutter ?

Started with an old Plaubel 5x7 studio camera and a 121 SA and a Nikon W 210, still have them and a free Durst 138 enlarger someone was throwing out. But the Plaubel was hard to bring along so I got...

Apart from a curiously engraved f/6,3 133mm VIIb in barrel I have a 158 in a syncro compur and a 108 in a compur shutter. Both seem to have required making a sleave to fit the shutter. Always when a...

"ALL Fujinon C series lenses are EBC multicoated" Thanks a lot Kerry. Besides I must have been kinda blind, there is nothing like EBC-coating printed on box but in large letters EBC-Fuji which must...

I aquired a 300mm Apo Ronar when I only had a 4x5, chosing it since it was supposed to be a better lens than 300mm Nikon M. Now with 8x10 as well I regretted my choice since the Nikon has a larger...

I have the opportunity to get fujinon-c in box, serial number is relatively low and there is no explicit statement of the kind of coating. Checked the inofficial Fuji site and in the tables there are...

Have a VIIb 4 1/4 in shutter, a 5 1/4 in barrel and a 6 1/4 in shutter and I'd love to have a new 82 mm and swap a 75 mm SA 5,6 and a 90 mm 8 to get it

It has been some time now... project skipped or what

Aren't digital backs smaller than sheet film, thus requiering shorter lenses and consequently deeper DOF ?

Certainly you are right. Only the query was a rather academical one and it seems to have inspired some information to surface that was unfamiliar to me.

That was kind of my general thought. Using smaller format like 4x5 you nead a better performance from your lenses since the negative is normally enlarged, whereas a larger negative that is often...

Take any lens that comes in different focal lenght for different formats, eg 4x5, 5x7, 8x10, would they have the same resolution regardless ? I am thinking of "compressing" the number of lenses you...

Wide open... nothing like a Noctilux f:1, but then that's not LF

A Berlebach 8033 wooden tripod with an intergrated ballhead, 2,7 kg in all very sturdy and all movements you'll ever need. 68 cm collapsed and 131 cm max heigth

Very wise indeed but I guess you still you pick a lens for it lest you are content using a pinhole...

What about the different brands of this lens or indeed lenses like the Red Dot Artar. Should you just try to get the focal lenght and F:stop you need at a decent price disregarding who made it or...

lol... good I'm a 4x5 thru 8X10 guy then

glad to have got my shuttered 158 Cooke for much less than half then and a shuttered 108 for very much less indeed but that's for 4x5 and 5x7

It's a 240 mm I have and coverage on 8x10 is no problem. My query was rather the supposed value and or qualities of the Zeiss Jena versions od the Goertz-Dagor as opposed to other brands. You often...

There's a 210 mm f:/9 Zeiss Goertz-Dagor at Ebay just now immediately jumping to $ 1000 +
How's that... Makes me look at my own mint 240 mm f:/6,8 Zeiss Goertz-Dagor that I was given for free a few...
