Kodak Enlarging Ektanon f4.5 10 inches & Wollensak Type-V 13/8 inch(35mm) f3.5(From 16mm Gun Camera.

New purchases. I would love to hear more about these lenses especially if you have used them.





Much Regards

Nice finds, that Kodak is a beast, it will need a long tube to mount it on methinks, at least 8-9 inches.

Back home I have a 12in LF lens that I occasionally mount on my K20D. Yes, it takes over 12in of PK macro tubes and bellows to focus closer than infinity. I really need a rail and supports to handle it.

Awesome. Show some results if you can. I recently acquired a couple of kodak enlarging lenses, but their threads are weird. Still trying to mount them. Embarassed

How wide are the lens bodies and bases?

* The simple way to mount a smaller lens: Drill a hole in a body cap.

* The simple way to mount a somewhat larger lens: Tape or glue cheap bayonet-mount macro tubes to the body. I think the Chinese-made Nikon tubes I left at home are ~55mm inner diameter.

* The almost-simple way to mount even larger lenses: PVC pipes of different diameters, nestled and glued together. This may reduce the aperture a bit, but it's better than nothing.

* The advanced way to use larger lenses: Mount lens in a lensboard on a view.cam. Use the dSLR to shoot the groundglass image. Voila!
