    Frame / Mitre clamps

    It wasn't me who posted before. I keep a low profile. I've never used an underpinner because I haven't got one. I use a tablesaw. Could use a biscuit jointer. What size frames are you planning to make? As you'll know, the Veritas clamp goes up to 585mm square; if you're going much bigger...

    Adaptor

    Thanks for the comments and suggestions. I'll give SRB a ring and probably buy theirs. I'm interested to see what these lenses are like on the Fuji (Zuiko 50mm 1.4 and 85mm f2).
