Hi,
I had front and rear elements of a Kodak 127mm Ektar.
I had a 135mm Optar with scratched front lens in
Grafex shutter. I took out the Optar glass and screwed
in the Kodak glass. The rear element fits perfectly,
but the front element bottoms out inside the shutter
and leaves a small gap between the shutter and the
rear edge of the front element. Will the front and
rear elements be spaced properly? If they are, will
the bed-rail scale for 135mm Optar be fairly accurate,
or do I need another one?
Thanks for the help!!
