Some nice machining on the Beiber one.

Just wanted to say thanks to @joxby for the awesome donor project!

Pleasure Steve..

I'm now looking at lens options for an ultrawide conversion :0)

The nearest I got for a wa/standard in terms of suitability/cost/least obscurity, availability and coverage (70mm) was the taking lens of a 55 or 65 Mamiya TLR

ultrawide could get expensive

Some nice machining on the Beiber one.

looks a bit over engineered to me, I prefer his Wirgin

I've been looking at donor lens options briefly tonight and agree that a TLR lens is probably the best compromise of cost/size.

I do like the engineering on the Bronica 40mm conversion although agree it's pretty chunky. I'm surprised how solid the Nimslo feels as standard though.

Now, do I make a Holgawide or a Bronica Mod :0)

I saw your posts on there because I was being promoted to moderate them :0). I haven't had chance to look at it properly yet bough. I'll see if I can add anything to your suggestions later.
