kcrisp Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 Rainer: You could spend hours reading all the comments on this board about the G Clarons. (Almost all of it favorable, at least from the people who use them.) Stopped down to f:22 they are excellent lenses for shooting at infinity. A barrel lens should screw right in to a Copal 1 or same sized Compur shutter. Check the spacing of the elements to be sure, but this should work without any difficulty. If the price is right, considering the price of the shutter and an f stop scale, I think you'll be pleased with the performance of the lens.

øyvinddahle Posted July 11, 2003 Share Posted July 11, 2003 "will fit a Copal 1" is what I toght too. It was an old lens, so the price of $130 was right for a lens who would fit a COMPOUND #2! The seller thougt I was going to use it on Sinar with big after-lens shutter. So there are more than one version! The new could fit Copal #1. Be sure what you buy, and in what condition. Nice lens.

tim_atherton2 Posted July 11, 2003 Share Posted July 11, 2003 was it a G-Claron or a Repro-Claron? They are different (as I found out... :-) ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainer_viertlb_ck Posted July 11, 2003 Author Share Posted July 11, 2003 hi tim, it is described here... http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2939332224&category=8 g-claron regards rainer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joerg_krusche Posted July 12, 2003 Share Posted July 12, 2003 Rainer, the 9/305 G-claron which is offered on ebay is agood lens, but it is the older version which may not fit standard #1 shutters. You would need an older type compur shutter. Best Joerg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainer_viertlb_ck Posted July 12, 2003 Author Share Posted July 12, 2003 thanks joerg... what name has such a compur shutter? i mean which size it has ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darin_cozine Posted July 12, 2003 Share Posted July 12, 2003 you should ask the seller what the diameter of the thread are. Both the front and rear elements. That will clarify things. Darin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joerg_krusche Posted July 12, 2003 Share Posted July 12, 2003 Rainer, sorry for my late reply, I believe it's a compur #2 shutter. Best regards Joerg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
