Request for donation of Beseler 45MX accessories
A pandering Beg!
Someone nice donated a Beseler 45MX to our local high school. It needs some accessories: A 50mm lens A lensboard that fits the lens A 35mm negative carrier A simple but usable enlarging timer. This is a small rural high school in New Hampshire, and lacks the budget to buy these things. If anyone can help, please e-mail me. Thanks!! Bruce Barlow |

Someone nice donated a Beseler 45MX to our local small rural high school in New Hampshire, and lacks the budget to buy ... accessories: What ever happened to Yankee Ingenuity? I suppose it's all New Yorkers up there now. A lensboard that fits the lens One square piece of 'stuff' with a round hole in it. Two squares of thickish chipboard (cardboard) glued together makes a great lensboard. Paint black. A 35mm negative carrier Two round pieces of stuff with a square hole in each. Two circles of thickish chipboard held together with a hinge makes a great negative carrier. A hinge at the back keeps them in line. Duct tape has been known to be used for a hinge. A simple but usable enlarging timer. One elephant, two elephants, three elephants ... Good enough for Edward Weston. Or steal your sister's metronome. A 50mm lens Here you will have some difficulty. Get a good lens - the usual: beg, borrow and steal. Or charge a darkroom fee to pay for the lens, chemicals and upkeep. People bring their _own_ paper (or you will rapidly go bust). BTW: Wrong newsgroup. Try rec.photo.darkroom -- Nicholas O. Lindan, Cleveland, Ohio Consulting Engineer: Electronics; Informatics; Photonics.

Hi, David,
Someone has stepped up with everything but the 35mm carrier. Of you have that, please e-mail me. Otherwise, thanks! And if I can't use it, maybe a school near you can? All best, Bruce |

I don't know if you are they guy who ended up with the 45MX I donated
to a school but I'd be ****ed off if the lack of a 35mm carrier was enough to make you discard it. You can make one out of cardboard with a matte-knife. I certainly hope someone can give you one but that's throwing out the baby for the lack of a bath!

Someone nice donated a Beseler 45MX to our local small rural
high school in New Hampshire, and lacks the budget to buy ... accessories: A 50mm lens Looking at ebay, 50mm f4 el-Omegars and Componars (probably the same thing under the paint) have been going for close to the price of saying 'supersize it'. Stop down to f8 and they work about as good as any Plano-Apo-Aspherigon. You better make this work, kid, the eyes of the world are upon you.

Once again, an entirely helpful message from Mr. Lindan.
Thank you for your generosity of spirit. Bruce Barlow (not a New Yorker). |
