I am interested in constructing an 8x10 conversion unit for my Beseler 45MX (I d on't want to spend the $$ Beseler is asking). I cannot see using/adapting the cu rrent light stage casting as it seems much too flimsy to me to hold the Aristo 1 212 light source (the aluminum actually flexes out at the end when moderate pres sure is put on it). Does anyone have experience with the Ross/Beseler unit and m ight you comment on the actual structure of the replacement casting? I can't see m to find a unit out there to look at (photos only tell/hint at so much...), but this sure would help me visualize an appropriate design here. Also, Ross reccom mmended the Nikkor 210mm....is this a must or will a 240mm work with his setup? Might there be part drawings available for this unit or has anyone endeavored to construct such a unit? thanks,
Lloyd
