[LargeFormat] lightweight 300mm enlarging/copy/repro lens?

[Jim Hemenway]

Hi Clive:

You're right, Grimes can make an adapter to put it in an Alphax.  The 
Super D has a 190mm Ektar and even though the camera has a focal plane 
shutter, the release mechanism is linked to the semi-auto aperture 
close-down during exposure.  I could put the 210 on the camera but it 
isn't worst the bother, (to me) for the extra 20mm.
