I've just acquired a 240mm G-claron enlarging lens. On the assumption (which I'm beginning to think was mistaken) that Schneider never made an enlarger specific g-claron (I checked the website), I thought that I would be able to unscrew the elements from the enlarging barrel and screw them into a copal 1.
The rear element unscrews without a problem, but there doesn't appear to be an easy way to separate the front element from the iris/aperture housing. Does anyone know whether this lens can be mounted in a copal 1, and if so, how the front cell can be removed? I do see a single small screw on the rear of the iris housing- is that the way to remove it?
Any help would be much appreciated.
