greg_hairston Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 <p>I have a camulet 4x5 and a 5.6/150mm Scheinder symmar-2 lens. The issue I have is it fits in a lens board that the hole is only 29mm in diameter. It is my understanding the Copal 0 is 35mm, yet my lens board is only 29mm. The threaded area that fits in the hole is only 27mm I want to use this lens in a Sinar but I can not find a sinar lens board with the 29mm opening. Anyone know of alternatives and why this lens has such a small diameter?<br /> <br /> Greg</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

len_robertson Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 <p>Greg - You may have a Compur shutter, not a Copal. According to this page:<br> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lens_board<br> Compur made a #00 size which seems close to your shutter dimensions. That seems like a small shutter for a 150mm lens, but maybe that is what they used. If your shutter is a #00, you may be able to find a Sinar board drilled to that size from KEH or on eBay.</p> <p>Len</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feodordefemina Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 <p>I think I have some blank Sinar type boards in my studio. You can drill them. I will be there this weekend. Get in touch if you need some.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
