I own a Graflex Optar lens in Graphex shutter. I need to get a lensboard for a Calumet 4x5 suitable with this shutter, but it is never advertised. Its diameter is approx. 42mm. Is there any equivalent in popular shutters?

Thanks in advance for any help on this matter.

Raul: Check with Midwest Camera Exchange (MPX). They have a web site, and they are a good source for lensboards, etc. I think you can either build or have built a decent lens board for the Calumet. Try either aluminum or the thin plywood you can buy in model airplane hobby hobby shops.
