Re: [Cameramakers] front mounted shutters.

This looks like a serious case of lens ecstasy!  Have you embarked on the filter quest yet?...        The  real sleepers are the "Computars" which were a   1970 to 1980 vintage computer designed  lens , multicoated with 6 to 8 elements.These supposedly have a 320 lines per inch resolution according to several  sources although some sources  say  differently.......I have a set for the enlarger  up to 150mm and one 270mm for a 8x10..         Most Process lenses are a 4 element lens but are tack sharp flat field lens corrected for color abnormities...The longer focal lengths make great telephoto lenses but are slow... I am in need of a Ilex # 5  shutter for a 42 inch focal length Schneider Red dot Altar that I have...    John Cremati..----- ----- Original Message       From: Gene Johnson To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, September 08, 2002 6:07 PM Subject: [Cameramakers] front mounted shutters. 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
