Beseler Enlarger with Kodak Lens
I have some old Eastman Kodak enlarging lens. Not sure just what qualities
they have but I would like to try them with my Beseler enlarger. All of the lens boards I have found are boarded for 39mm these lens appear to be about 45mm in diameter. How can I adapt these lens for my enlarger? Alan Tippett |

But a blank board will cost more then a used lens might. If all you want to do is test the lens maybe make a board out of cardboard? Or something else cheap. Nick |

Alan Tippett Any camera repairman, many camera stores and any machinist can mill the hole to the larger size. or you can buy, rent, borrow a Greenlee Chasis Punch of the correct size and do it yourself. Before you do that, make a quick check to see if it would fit. Someone gave me a Schneider Componon 240mm f/5.6 enlarging lens and the rear element would not fit into the opening of my 45MCRX. It might have been possible to unscrew it from the diaphragm assembly and stick it in from just below the lens stage and screw it back, but I had no need of it so I never tried that. -- .~.

Not cardboard; try Masonite (or whatever they call it in the UK or elsewhere). "Hardboard". Easily cut with ordinary, non-rocket-science tools. That's what all my homemade lensboards for my Beseler (23C) are made from. (Even painted them Beseler Blue to match.) -- Everybody's worried about stopping terrorism. Well, there's a really easy way: stop participating in it. - Noam Chomsky |
