    Adapter for 39mm to copal#1

    I need an adapter that is able to fit to a copal#1 lens board for use on a 39mm mount size lens. Such thing exist? Where can I get it?

    Thanks

    If you are planning on doing macro work with an enlarging lens then you also want a reverse mounting ring. And, in any event, don't forget to block off the illuminated aperture port on the back of the lens.

    Klaus, the OP wants to put a lens in M39x? in a hole drilled for a #1 shutter, which is (see http://www.skgrimes.com/products/new.../pressshutters) 41.6 mm in diameter. The adapter you pointed to "adapts a lens with a 32.5mm x 0.5 mounting thread to an enlarger lens board (or a Unifoc 58 / 76 focus mount) with a 39mm x 26Gg LEICA thread." Not what's wanted.

    OP, I just checked, a flange for an enlarging lens in M39 fits a Copal #1 sized hole. What's your problem?

    I'm doing an experiment and since i'm new to view camera system I need help in finding an adapter that i'm not familiar with. I had no clue the adapter is called a flange. Where can I find the flange? At least a link so that I know how it looks like.

    Thanks

    Are you using an M39 mount camera lens, or other lens?

    It's for a Nikon 80mm EL with a 39mm mount size.

    Then you should be able to fasten it to the board with a flange or a locking ring.
    A flange screws onto the lens and has 3 or 4 holes around the flat part for screwing it to the board. A locking ring is a threaded ring with two notches or holes on one end for tightening with a special wrench, usually called a spanner.

    Look here: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/search...497+4246734177

    You'll have to measure to find out whether the lens' mounting threads are M39 x 26 TPI (that's Leica) or M39 x 0.75 mm (wrongly offered as x 0.75" by B&H). Then get the flange you need and go.

    So I have to drill holes so that the flange stay in place? Will this flange fit in a way that will not move around (perfect fit) I will hate to see that is not perfectly center. It would be nice to see something similar that will lock with a retainer ring and then screw the Nikon 80mm EL lens. Hope I am making sense!
