In Reply to: Re: Cams for 135mm posted by Bob Stoddard on January 10, 2001 at 17:25:05:: For 131.80mm - Cam #31; for 133.53mm - #5; for 135.00 - #6; and for 136.42mm - #7. According to Graflex, only cams 5, 6 or 7 were used w/135mm lenses. Sure looks like #31 is a long way off.
: Isn't is possible that, due to manufacturing variations, this Xenar actually has a focal length which is closer to the 131.8mm of the #31 than it is to any other of the available cams? RKS
I may be making too much of this as I have not yet had the opportunity to try it outside in daylight. I set the camera at 8 ft. from a printed target on the wall and focused both with the rangefinder and ground glass. They appear to coincide but the light wasn't bright enough to be precise. It may be that just the focusing scale must be adjusted. Thanks for the help and I will report back.
