Schneider Componon-S 150mm Lens for Copy Work???
Hello,
This was recommended by someone: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tegory=29 986 Except they had a 135mm version, but it should be close. My artwork is between 8.5"x11" to 3'x4'. My question is: how would you go about mounting this enlarging lens into a Crown Graphic Special? What shutter would be optimum? I admit that I shyed away from this recommendation, because it didn't come with a shutter. But perhaps it's not too difficult to do. Thanks for your patience with a newbie! Slick |

My question is: how would you go about mounting this enlarging lens into a Crown Graphic Special? What shutter would be optimum? The answer is, you can't do it.[1] This lens is not made to fit into any shutter (it is, after all, an enlarging lens). [1] You *could* have someone like Steve Grimes (& Co.) make you an adapter for a shutter, but it would cost you a fortune. The other alternative would be to buy a Speed Graphic, which would easily accomodate it with its focal-plane shutter. -- It's fun to demonize the neo-cons and rejoice in their discomfiture, but don't make the mistake of thinking US foreign policy was set by Norman Podhoretz or William Kristol. They're the clowns capering about in front of the donkey and the elephant. The donkey says the UN should clean up after them, and the elephant now says the donkey may have a point. Somebody has come out with a dustpan and broom. - Alexander Cockburn, _CounterPunch_ (http://www.counterpunch.org), 9/17/03 |

Put the film in pull the darkslide.When everything has settled pop off the strobes. The great thing about this is even if you need multiple pops no problem just don't miscount. You need strobes of course. Nick |

After all, it would only require an aluminum or brass "step up ring" threaded for the lens on one end and the shutter on the other. You can buy a Copal Press shutter with a 39mm adapter installed for $252. I use one to mount enlarging lenses and zone plates on a 4x5 view. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/cont...u=63489&is=REG Chris Ellinger Ann Arbor, MI |

You need strobes of course. I would seem to me that the turn-on surge of a regular 300 watt tungsten photo flood would not be usable in this way. As i do have the two floods hooked to the same outlet strip, and this has a switch on it. But i bet nobody does it like this, eh? Slick |

Slick Your color temperature varies as the lights heat up especially with tungsten bulbs Image would probably be a little orange. You can get enlarging lenses adapter for shutters. As I said before we used to set up MP-3s this way using the Tominon or Ysarex shutters, the rear element is the problem, smaller than the front Schneider may even sell an adapter ring. For the subjects you want to photograph use a 150mm better coverage, also better coverage than the Xenar or G-Claron, or the Tominon for that matter. One question what tripod are you using sounds like you may be getting camera shake, at 32 seconds you need to be on a rock to keep the camera steady. Just changing you balance while exposing will give shake, as will a truck driving by. Do yourself a favor and get a couple of Lowell TotaLights at a 1000 watts halogen each you will drop your exposure time and even out your lighting. Cost about $300 for 2, good light stands about $60 each. I'm not a fan of strobes for copy work this is what I use. You will also see better to focus with brighter light, and it will give you the option of using polarizors to supress gloss on the art work. Tom |
