[Cameramakers] front mounted shutters.

[Gene Johnson]

Hello Cameramakers,   I just bought 3 Konica Hexanon GrII  process lenses in 150, 210, and 300mm focal lengths.  I was able to mount the 300mm on my Horseman with a Packard shutter (with flash synch) this works really well.  I was also able to use the 210mm by mounting an Ilex #3 in front of it.  I still have tons of movement available.  The 150 I haven't got to yet, but I'll probably mount it in front of another Ilex #3.  I have about 250 bucks in all three lenses and 2 shutters, and I'm just thrilled with the performance.  Now that I have mine, I thought I'd share my joy with you all.  These are FINE lenses.  Very sharp from very close to infinity. They show up on eBay from time to time, along with a ton of other similar process lenses from Rodenstock, Schneider, Kodak, Nikkor, JML, Ilex, Eskafot, and many others.  Hey, every once in a while, something works out.   Gene
