Thanks for posting
Dan
Thanks for the kind words Dan, most appreciated here..
Here is the "beast", certainly not a beauty queen, but it gets the job (somewhat?) done. I made up a lensboard last evening out of model aircraft plywood, drilled, routed, and painted. The Dallmeyer lens (f7.5, No.5 Series III) is now mounted, so I will try it out this weekend. This morning I found a guy on the "auction site" that makes a large variety of lensboards (wood & metal), so I sent an order in for one to fit a Copal #1 and jam nut. I have a Linhof-select 180mm that has a bad shutter and needs a new home...we will see.
Another from the RB, out at the Pomfret School (CT).

Just scanned some more rolls shot with my Leica M7
Really nice images...from the city of Saint James the Great?
Dan: I had four holders in the original case, and bought three that were actually new-unused in boxes yesterday from a gentleman up in Wellesley, MA. I also bought a beautiful wooden tripod that works/matches my 5x7 Century folding view camera. He had just sold a Kodak 2D 8x10, with reducing backs (5x7, 4x5) about an hour before I arrived...it would have taken a ride back to CT in the XC70, but time waits for no one...
I do not think that a standard holder (plastic/metal... maybe a wooden one) could be modified because of their inherent construction. I'll take a look at some of the completely wooden ones that I have here, and let you know. My thing is, what is your (my) time worth to refit stuff, verses a purchase and knowing that it will work. I am a pretty good fabricator with metals/plastics/woods, but I weigh my "time-on-task" carefully before the lathes or milling machines get turned on.
I'll post some GW690II shots in a bit, as the negatives are almost dry/relaxed in the rack.

Expired Ilford FP4 plus exposed at iso 80-100, developed in HC110 dilution H. Little light leak at the top, from messing around in the changing bag. My late father's 60-year-old Zeiss Ikonta M 524/16 folder with Tessar 75mm F3.5. Scanned with Nikon Coolscan 8000.

Paul, great to see these images using your Dad's gear; I do the same, almost on a daily basis. The B&W most definitely fits the mood of the scenes.

Porta 160

wide open, metered via Sekonic 758, I think this works MUCH better than the prism AE meter
the vignette is mine, I added it.

Yes, most of my shooting takes place in Santiago de Compostela, where Im from. Since I became a dad I cant travel at all so i have been wandering my home town for te last three years. I feel quite lucky as it is a amazing city for a street photographer, no complaints at all.
Would anyone be interested in purchasing a Nikon CoolScan 8000 ED? Thinking of selling mine so would like to gauge interest before putting it up in B&S
