Often the failings in the old glass made for an esthetically pleasing
effect. Knowledgeable people take advantage of this in two ways: using the old lenses where appropriate as they were designed, or adapting them to modern cameras. This is easy on cameras with a focussing front standard, such as a view or press camera. It's more difficult with cameras for lenses in focussing mounts. They can be put on copy bellows or a Graflok holder with a camera mount can be made. Lippincott and Ed Romney are seful sources for information here. |
