These are the results of a fit test and weighing. The assembled lens with Schier plate weighs 425 lbs. The Trent plate weighs 33 lbs. As installed into the camera mount, D5150-1, it clears everywhere. The status is that the #1/4-20 adjusting screws for 2.33 degree tilt are adequate. The large screws that actually hold the lens cell are fairly easy to adjust into "just contacting" alignment. Overall, it was a good test. Observer: Jack Osborne Do-ers: Jeff Lewis, Dick Kanto, Vern Wallace Date: 3 15 00 Place: UCSC Optical Shop, test tunnel. Next test: Rotate lens in rotating fixture.
