Howdy Printer Folk!

I'm a large format photographer with a 16x20 view camera problem.

Regardless, I'm also looking for abandoned process lenses, longer than 600mm/24", which is the normal focal length for this film format.

I keep hearing about 30", 36" and even 48" lenses "out there" somewhere.

I'd even take old copy cameras off someone's hands in the Front Range area.

Many Thanks!

Sadly, I think I'm under your threshold. As follows:


Three beautiful Hexanons mounted on the slide-board. As follows:

-300mm/f9

-210mm/f9

-150mm/f9.

But if you hear of anyone looking in this category, let 'em know. I shall not be "binning" these. They are slated to travel in my coffin if nobody claims them. Not sure how they'd fare in the cremation process though.    :undecided:

I am sitting here looking at my:
Nikon
Apo - NIKKOR
760mm
1:11
lens
in mint condition.

It is from a 30x44 process camera
(have the 34x44 ground glass (unbelievable) and everything
 Vacuum back and pump - currently in use as my darkroom easel)
-
Also have "all" the condensers and lenses
for a Durst Laborator (sp?) 5x7 enlarger
if you know anyone in the market.
(I do have some great bids from a couple of "Glass Artists" here.)

Any of this in the ballpark?

Can anyone tell me what and where on the machine these lenses are located, what they look like, etc, ... I "might" know "someone" working 10 feet from one that is due to be "trashed" soon ...  :wink:

If it's a DaiNippon, there should be a handle at the front...bottom of the bellows. Pull/release knob, right side...to slide it.
If you pull all the way, the board shold come out. But 2 hands...don't drop it! Lenses mounted in board.

If it's any other make...haven't a clue...    :huh:
