Tullahoma Posted January 4, 2011 Share #1 Posted January 4, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) This image, made with my Leica Elmarit-R 60mm Macro, shows a Ross London No.6 Lens from 1890, mounted on a 21st Century DSLR. I have had the lens for fifty years, but have not before explored its capabilities. The lens has an 8-in.(200mm) focal length and has Waterhouse stops, from f/16 to f/64. The second image was taken with this lens/camera combination. Jim N. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpattison Posted January 4, 2011 Share #2 Posted January 4, 2011 Fantastic, Jim And to think I was wondering what a 1930's lens would be able to do!!! Regards, John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
earleygallery Posted January 7, 2011 Share #3 Posted January 7, 2011 Excellent. I've still got a few films to process I took using my 1903 Box Brownie's! You'd be surprised at the quality. I know it's not strictly Leica discussion but I love playing around with all sorts of old cameras. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc_braconi Posted January 7, 2011 Share #4 Posted January 7, 2011 The circular collar is in wood ? was it already attached to the lens or you made it ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tullahoma Posted January 7, 2011 Author Share #5 Posted January 7, 2011 JC, The lens came to me with a threaded brass flange and the original brass screws. I chose to mount it on a Pentax M42 bellows. I needed additional extension to get infinity focus, so I chose to make a 0.75 in. adapter/extender. The lens flange is on the front, and an M42 flange from an old lens was modified and fitted to the back. The adapter is shown in the attached image. Thanks for your interest. Jim N.
