Hello: I lost out on two eBay auctions for large Aero-Ektar lenses last week.
I realize they have a host of quirks ranging from mechanical issues with integration into a camera to discolored optics and radioacivity due to thorium oxide in the rear element. But they are 'cool'. Before I embark on another hunt for one, can someone confirm whether they're worth the effort to adapt for a camera. I planned on building a box or bellows camera around one, and really don't care that a external shutter is required. Someone told me the 'air space' between the back of the lens and the shutter has to be 'right'...I presume that means the spacing. I would think the spacing between a lens and a combination iris/shutter would be important because the iris size is variable. I would think a rear mount shutter with out iris that opened all the way wouldn't be that critical. Comments appreciated.
