Fast and easy to focus on the groundglass. It was held in place by liberal amount of epoxy and a long pin threaded into the aperture ring allowed me to adjust the aperture quickly. The 3" Elcan comes from a Vinten Aerial Camera. It needs to be very close to the filmplane. The 3" lenses are common, but they made a 2" (or 21/2" 2,8 that is a very complex design and i have seen that one mounted on a M-camera ( serious surgery was required, but it did work). Talk to Reinhold Mueller about adapting the 6" to a L-flex ( he also has some interesting ELCAN's in stock!!!!!) Fax Canada- 416-467-7447. Tom A
