Hi!

Some time ago I asked about possibility of using (taking) lens from junked TLR - in my case it was a Rolleiflex E with Xenotar 2.8/80.

Well, after some effort, I dismantled the lens (with working shutter!), and made a makeshift lensboard (cardboard), and today I <b>finally</b> took a roll of film with it and my Pacemaker Speed 2x3.

The negatives came out fine! The lens covers full 6x9 negative, and the sharpness (judging from the negs) goes all the way to the edges!

The final results, however, will be perfectly visible only after I do some enlargements, but so far it looks OK...

There were some DIY activities required on the lens, however - I had to devise a way to use a cable release. I can provide a more extensive report on this project, if anyone's interested...

Regards,
