Hello all.
I have been shooting for a while with a 152 Ektar, but recently repaired and adjusted the FP shutter on my Speed Graphic. To celebrate I bought an inexpensive 180 Jena, and now I have what is probably a stupid question. Here goes: How do I mount this thing?
It has no retaining ring, and is about 20 mm wider than the one that secures the 152mm. I've done a little bit of looking around and can't seem to find any 56mm retaining rings that I could mount on lens board. Am I looking for the wrong thing here? Is there an easier way to go? Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks
