[LargeFormat] RE: Correction

[tap]

To keep the echo going, I'm here too.

And speaking of lenses, I wish there were more out there on the web 
about creating one's own lenses from scratch. (I'm currently making a 
camera, haven't taken a large format picture in my life yet, hence no 
expertise of my own to share.)

I have several crummy lens elements I bought from American Science and 
Surplus, and I'm still searching for the best way to line them up in a 
way that lets me experiment with them, rather than attaching everything 
permanently right from the start. My current line of thinking is that 
I'll afix them solidly within some threaded juice bottle tops, then I 
can interchange them with others mounted similarly in the opposing 
threads.

I suspect I'll end up buying some decent elements and follow the 
precise instructions and focal lengths outlined in the book Primitive 
Photography.
