Bob -
The "<g>" at the end is supposed to stand for "grin". I guess that's not as universal as :-). Anyway, I was joking. Even if I could get the lens mounted, my ceiling wouldn't be high enough. To top it all off, I no longer have my B22. It fell victim to a moving accident. <sniff, sniff> To make things worse, I don't even have a wet darkroom at the moment. <sob, sob> But I have hopes for the future, and enlargers are cheap enough now so replacement should be relatively painless.

Bill,
You're not going to modify that lens. You might have to modify a lensboard to fit it. The question is whether you're enlarging 8x10 negatives. This is a very 'long' lens. Even on my 8x10 enlarger I only use a 240mm for 8x10 negs. I'm not sure why you would want this for a B22.

How hard would it be to modify that for my Omega B22?  <g>
