jeff_buckels Posted June 18, 2003 Share Posted June 18, 2003 Can anybody tell me where to find a Zone VI / Wista type lensboard or two? Never see them on Ebay. Steve Shuart makes them but out of one piece of wood, and I think the 3-piece type is better. Thanks. -jb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ken_schroeder Posted June 18, 2003 Share Posted June 18, 2003 Jeff, the Zone VI (Wista) lensboards were black metal. The later Zone VI (non Wista) cameras used wooden boards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim_rhoades Posted June 18, 2003 Share Posted June 18, 2003 Calumet sells them. I make my own out of 3/8 inch modeling plywood. I then apply a mahogany veneer to it. Having said that I'm a very sick person with to much time on his hands. I then mount a crappy lens to it. But man, does the board look good.

rachel_kinoshita Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 I'm surprised you haven't seen any on eBay, I've purchased four Zone VI/ Wisner lensboards in the past month or so from there. I've also purchased Wisner boards from B&H, but I see that they're currently out of stock, except for the blank boards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcrisp Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 Jeff: The new Calumet ones are one piece and the finish isn't as nice as the original 3 piece ones. You are going to have to find the old ones used, I have also seen quite a few of these on Ebay to keep looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erik_gould1 Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 Watch out for the older 3 piece lens boards. I had one that was original with the camera that developed a slight seperation and created a pinhole. Took me forever to figure out where the additional image on the film was coming from! I sent that back to ZVI and they replaced it with a one piece board. That was when ZVI was still ZVI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
