At lunchtime I set up the 8x10 and removed the front element of the Doctor 240 Germinar W and sure enough, what looks like a fine 450mm image showed up on the ground glass. Might you have some correlating ratio as to effective f stops for this optical configuration ie. did you get Grimes to add another f scale? Many Thanks
I shoot BW, and so I just add 2 stops to the lens markings.

Yep. Also, as I said earlier, I had SK Grimes make an adapter that goes from my shutter to 52mm. That way I can use 52mm filters on the lens. I use a clear one for some protection of the inner lens surface. If it's perfect weather and conditions, I don't, but if it's dusty, rainy....then I do. I've only used the camera this way a few times last fall, but I hope to do more of it when the weather here gets a bit warmer.
