~ISCO Ultra Star.

~Kollmorgen Super Snaplite, Kollmorgen Cinelux.

~Schneider Cinelux, Schneider ended up with lots of high quality projector lens companies.

I have a Cinelux 120mm f/2 projection lens that has a 52mm ANAMORPHIC CLAMP recently attached. I would like to attach it to an electronic Compur #3. Looks like it would work because ANAMORPHIC CLAMP's outside thread is 58mm.

Right now the Cinelux is attached to a Linhof early 4x5 board so I can see its effects on my 5x7 Linhof Kardan Bi.

With it attached to the front of a #3 shutter may present infinity focus problems compared with the present 4x5 board approach.

Not sure how practical the "top hat" exposure method would work with an f/2 lens, that's why I am looking at a #3 shutter.

Just checked with a #3 electronic under repair and the 58mm (measured outside diameter) is a loose fit in the shutter. Either the shutter is not 58mm or the adapter is not 58mm? And of course the shutter opening is less, so the full f/2 may not be obtainable anyway.

Boards for the Kardan B are not old. They are the same boards for the current Kardan cameras.

Bob, the old board is silver from a Technika IV or even a III. I am using a Technika to Kardan adapter as most of my lenses are on late model Technika V boards with the exception of a 165mm SA that must be mounted on a proper Kardan board because it is so big.
