I tried to use the dry plates from Jason lane but I realised that this ISO 2 plates are only sensitive to blue and UV light and the most lenses cut this below 400nm.
Good results are possible with uncoated lenses and a better choice is to use only dialyt systems with no cemented elements.
Than I remember that I have a 200mm Zeiss Jena quarz glass lens in stock and thought about to make it usable for photography.
BTW: quarz glass let pass UV lights down to ~370nm but it is incredible expensive.
First I turned an retaining ring for a size I shutter but with an OD thread for to mount the quarz lens.
For the front of the shutter I turned a lens shade for reduce tht reflexions and for to take Ø40.5mm filters.
At last I made a lens board for my Wista 45D
