Subject: [pure-silver] missing ring for enlarger lens
I have an enlarger lens that is missing a part, a ring. It had the
ring when I first got the lens, but I mailed it to the people that
I was getting the lensboard from, in the hopes that they could
measure it and would drill the lensboard for me to fit the lens.
But the ring got lost in the mail. This happened six months ago or
more, so I don't think it will turn up.
I didn't worry too much about this and I got the lensboard drilled
locally. But the lens turns in its mount when you try to adjust
the aperture. So apparently this part was pretty important.
What is this part called? Is it possible that I could get a
replacement for it? Where should I look for such a thing?
(The lens is a 240mm lens for enlarging 8x10 negatives. That might
make it a bit harder to find the part. It took a long time to find
a lens like that, that was affordable. I got it from Cambridgeworld
and it was very dirty, but the local fixer cleaned it for me. The
make is Schneider-Kreuznach.)

The part is called a retaining ring. You should be able to get a
new one from Schneider, I don't think it will cost much. They might
need the serial number to determine the exact version. Schneider
Componon enlarging lenses are excellent, even the older ones.
There is a ring on the back, the side that goes toward the light. The
missing one is the one on the side toward the print. Is that also
called a retaining ring?
