Schneider has a pretty good site that talks about the lenses.... if not
there, check with    http://www.robertwhite.co.uk/ for more info and
probably the best prics on the planet.....

To use the G-Clarons as I suggested.......

G_Clarons are relaly pretty tiny lenses.  The shuttere make them bigger, and
the LB make them larger and much more bulky.  If yo look at any lens, there
are basically 4 parts....  The front optical group, the rear optical group,
the shutter, and the lens board.  If you were to carry alternative optical
groups that would fit and function in 1 shutter, there is no need to spare
shutters or LB.....  The lenses themselves are really tiny, and are much
more compact than Plasmats,....

To swap lenses, you simply unscrew the front and rear optical assemblies
from the shutter, and screw on the other set.  About as difficult as
replacing a filter on the front of your lens......

Is that more clear?  Take only what you need, leave the rest at home.....
