After a bit of swapping about, I'll soon have a new to me Miniature Speed Graphic headed my way with three nice lenses to boot (90/6.8 WA Raptar, 105/3.5 Zeiss Jena Tessar, 135/4.7 Optar). However, that leads me to wonder if the infinity stops used on the Mini were the same as those used on the Anniversary? If so, then I'm ok, but otherwise I'll need to start tracking down elsewhere at least one more set so I can have the 90 & the 105 preset.

Thanks,

William

Hi, William,

A quick look at my Mini and my Anny (which is a 3x4) suggests that they may be interchangeable. I can actually try interchanging them a little later in the day if nobody else knows for sure (right now, breakfast is on my "work table"!).

The stops on my Anny have the little springs (which serve as detents to hold the front at the stops without locking the front standard clamp). Of course the clamp on the Mini is the "two-lever squeeze" type that engages under spring tension, so such wouldn't be needed there, and the stops on it don't have them.
