Gene,

Not to mention all the rest of the hassels, how do you find a 50mm lens that
will focus with the same lens-flange-to-film-plane distance as the 28mm on
the camera?  To me that implies a whole bunch of modifications. Just my 2c
worth.
 can't hardly no way this solution can happen, unless  you plan to build the new diana. the problem is that the focal length relates to the drum and is best set at the hyperfocal distance. 1950's 120 film panon had split element (front) so this meant that it was also changing focal length. did i hear someone  burp? did i hear someone say image quality? from behind the rock in east orange, nj. simon nathan
