Thank you for your help.
My Raptar is a true telephoto lens. All you have said regarding the
infinity stops and focus scales all falls into place with me now. I
fully understand how to set the infinity stops from your
instructions. I also see that the lefy hand focus scale is in fact
exactly the same as yours (15/16") and relates to my standard lens.
I casn also see now how I can set the focus scale for the 203 by
adjusting the inner (arrowed) scale with a Swiss screwdriver. I'll
give it a go in the morning and see if I can dset it accurately. We
are supposed to be metric over here as we are now part of Europe.
However, I was taught imperial measurements at school some forty
years ago and therefore still use the good old feet and
inches!
Thanks once again for your learned knowledge of the Century Graphic
Graflex,
cordially,
Mal
