Hello,
I collect and restore old cameras, though a bit of a novice.
Are there any modern (post 70s) that are compatible with graflex caneras? The large format lenses I have seem to be compatible as it fits nicely on the lens mount though the body cannot close due to the size of the front element.
Being aware of thorium glass elements, especially Kodak ektar lenses, I would like to use a lens without thorium. I do keep all cameras as their original state and components, however I would prefer to use a modern lens with graflex cameras.
I'm aware that the lenses do not pose a significant risk as the main concern are thorium eye pieces though I've come across many sites and forums debating the safety of such glass elements and their pose of radioactivity.
With appreciation,
Braden
