Just got this lens, heading my way now.

Any experiences here? Mucho fun ahead with this one.

I've shot a lot with a Cinaphor on 4x5 and although the depth of field is extremely shallow and it's a bit wide for portraits, I do like the image it makes. I mounted mine to a Sinar board and use a Sinar shutter, works great.

I also have this one, a 5.25" F2. Have not had time to test it out but time will be available in a big way coming soon.
I do want something longer than this should fit the bill.

Merry Christmas!

If I may ask, how did you mount yours to the board? Above ^^^ I am using Gorilla Tape LOL

I do have a couple of Sinar Norma shutters in my studio.

I have front and rear elements of a cinephor lens. Not sure how to use them. Any suggestions?

I made a board out of hardwood plywood, drilled a hole and epoxied the lens in. I also shaved about 1/2" off the back of the barrel to get it to clear the shutter.

Maybe cut and thread some black plastic sewer plumbing pipe? Line with flocking paper from Edmund Scientific.

Thanks for that. Out will come my best friend JB WELD.

Sewer Drain Parts from Lowes by Nokton48, on Flickr

Christmas Eve shopping at Lowes. 3" Sewer Pipe Hard Rubber Connectors and clamps. Could be useful.
The rubber connector fits the 5.5" Cinephor very tightly.
