    Re: No brand lens question...

    Hi Chauncy, They are the standard stops. One wierd thing is that, while the threads of the lens screw into the shutter without any problem, the fit is a bit 'loose', making me wonder if the lens is...

    No brand lens question...

    I have a 'bottom of the drawer' lens that I just resurrected. It came to me years ago on an ancient speed graphic which had been given to me by a friend. I played around with it at the time, but put...
  5. Re: Taylor Hobson 2 inch Ental ll mounting question.

    Steve, It's hard to beat the Focotar ll. I looked up the Corfield APO. It looks like a very interesting lens. The Ektar is great also. I am awaiting my Ental lens which for some reason is stuck at...
  6. Re: Taylor Hobson 2 inch Ental ll mounting question.

    Thanks Steve. I do have my fingers crossed as, looking at the photos, I am sure there is no retaining ring. Miracles do happen!
  7. Re: Taylor Hobson 2 inch Ental ll mounting question.

    Thank you very much Steve. Yes, I am familiar with the idiosycrasies of mounting strange lenses on Focomats. I have through the years managed to cobble small Componons, Axions and Ektars, etc. with...

    Peter. I find that amazing. On my first newspaper job (in the 1970s) I worked with a great photographer who did the exact same thing. He said he could not help it. One day he showed up at my desk...

    Where is a good source for parts for large format lenses? I am not seeking screws or springs and stuff... Just a faceplate for a 105 Ektar. There must be a treasure trove of stuff tucked away...

  23. Re: When was Wisner Tech Field 4x5 #941 built?

    941. That seems very familiar. I think I may have once owned that camera. Or it may be a very similar number to the one I had. It was nine-something-one. That sure sounds like it. But I bought mine...

  29. Kodak Supermatic aperture scale question.

    OK. I have a nice Kodak 105mm 3.7 Ektar. I use this on my 2x3 Century Graphic. For reasons I won't bore you with, the Supermatic shutter the lens is in now is from a Kodak 127mm 4.7 Ektar. I no...

    I've never seen a Calumet scale. But the photo guides are very handy. I do not know what I did with mine. I just bought a 'new' one, which means my old one will turn up any day now.
