Lens boards for MPP MK VII

[jason_chiu]

Hi, I am looking for lens boards that will fit my MK VII. I know I

could find it on ebay and I actually ordered one from the UK. Does

anyone know a source in the U.S.? Are there any other lens boards

that would fit the MK VII? I am also interested in getting a recessed

board for my SA 90mm. Thanks.

 

Jason.

Dear Jason,

 

Join the MPP owners' club in the UK -- a web search will soon find them. Most MPP users use a 'cone' (extended) board for 90mm, not a sunk panel.

 

Cheers,

 

Roger

Jason, I bought an MPP mk7 board from ebay and found that despite being the genuine article it was thicker that all my other boards and so not usable. It is however very easy to make your own boards for the mk 6 and 7 as they are a simple square shape with a samller square on the back to fit into the standard. I use two pieces of 1/8 inch plywood glued flat together under pressure. The hole for the shutter is made in the front board and the larger hole (the recess for the flange) in the other. I'm not a cone fan, preferring to use a flat board with my 90mm Angulon.

Thank you very much for the responses. I understand that MPP users usually use cone or flat boards for 90mm. I am curious if anyone used 90mm on MPP MK VII with recessed lens board. It seems to me that with one could maneuver movements easier with recessed boards than cone/flat boards, even though speed and aperture adjustments would be a bit inconvenient.
