Darlotblad ...It lives!!

[Andrew Moxom]

After some wandering around Home Depot last week to buy some cheap ABS plumbing fittings, and some JB weld, I was able to adapt another Hasselblad body cap to fit a 7" Darlot F4 petval lens to the Hassie 201F.... The mount is modular and I made a fitting that allows both a Darlot and a 'Enterprise Optical MFG Co Inc Rectilinear lens to be interchangeably fitted onto the front.... Should be fun times testing these out. I am also close to finishing a mount for a B&L 5" f1.4!! Cinephor II modified petval to also be used on the hassie 201F.

Will attach pictures in a bit.

Okay, attached to the 201F Body is the Darlot Petzval. Front right is the Great Wall lens, and to the right is the Enterprise Optical MFG co Inc rectilinear lens.... Both the rectilnear and darlot are interchagneable via the little plumbing fixture mounts I created. They basically fit onto another plumbing fitting that is JB Welded to a milled out body cap.
