[captli7]

from ebay a Ronar CL 800mm/9 but I don't know how to fit the shutter and how long bellows needed?
thanks for advice if who knows well.

If you use a Sinar camera, mount the lens in a Sinar board and use a Sinar copal shutter. I use this with my Apo Ronar 600mm/9, and works flauless. Hope it helps.

Since it's not a telephoto design, it's straight-up 800mm (or 31 1/2 inches) focused at infinity. as you focus closer you need more bellows. I used to have a 610mm Nikkor. To shoot a face on 8x10 took about 36 inches (914mm) so your next purchase may be extra bellows and and extension rails.

I didn´t see the original date of the post!. I found it while digging in search of info about Apo Ronars longer than 600mm. Bob, the post is from 7 Feb 2010. Dec 2011 is my joining date to this forum. Anyway I very surprised the original post didn´t get a reply in almost 3 years!

No. Although I am 147 going on 148 years of age, I can still count. 6 Feb 2010 to 5 Aug 2012 makes 2 years 5 months 29 days.

Mea Culpa, I was looking at a join date not a post date.

No biggie. I lied about my age.
