Want to Buy WTB: Medium Format (75mm/80mm/85mm?) lens and negative carrier

I'm looking for a lens and negative carrier for a Beseler 23cii to print 6x6 and 6x45 negatives.

I was just going to ask if those would work. But I'm thinking they wouldn't. Thank you, though!

Lens boards are good candidates for internet purchase, because they are relatively small and easy to ship.
One thing that you need to understand is that enlarger lenses have threads at the back which are used to attach the lens to the board/plate/mount that the enlarger uses. The sizes of those threads vary, although 39mm is very common.
Some boards/plates/mounts are threaded, but most have a hole which the lens threads pass through. The latter setup requires that you also have a retainer ring/jam nut to thread on to the back to hold the lens to the board/plate/mount.
Retainer rings/jam nuts are also good candidates for internet purchase.

Thank you! I was looking on Freestyle and they had a lens and a ring, which now makes total sense.

If you could find them, I'd love to purchase them.
