Very well done. Was going to wish for more cold to keep you coming with all these brilliant ideas but can't be that cruel.
Thanks sharing and keep up the excellent work.


Sassan,

The one above is a prototype to see how it would perform. Lots easier cutting up bits of plastic to try out ideas.

You are suggesting rise and fall as well as swings and tilts. Mmmmmm I will have to get my head round that as I only have an enlarging lens with sufficient an image circle. Good thought though I will investigate. Any ideas or suggestions are most welcome as it is too easy to get fixed with one possible solution and that may not be the best solution. I saw the one with the Mamiya lens mounted through the concertina section of a rubber plunger as posted in the links and got a bit fixated with that idea before realising its limitations.

Just wish my best quality enlarging lens was not the 50mm. Image circle max's out at 35mm frame size.

Good job I am part of the lunatic fringe or someone would suggest just getting a 5x4 and be done with it.

All of February to go yet before the warmer days return.

Don
