Want to Buy 135mm lens/board for 4x5 Crown or Speed Graphic

[Perry Way]

I'm having a difficult time finding a suitable 135mm lens with board for a 4x5 Crown Graphic Special. Actually I have a board with a 44mm hole so if you've got a 135mm lens with that size hole then I don't need a board. I'd prefer a Schneider lens but will also consider the Optar and the Ektar lens.

I will also consider purchasing a Crown or Speed Graphic complete, if it is excellent condition and ready to shoot, recently CLA'd.

I found a Schneider Xenar from one of those names on the big auction site. It's a nice lens. I wanna buy it. But I need a board for the Crown Graphic. I had him measure the diameter and it's 37mm. I think that means a 39mm Copal 1 board will fit? I don't know, maybe someone who knows can inform me. I need to find this board!! If I find the board I have everything I need to make my Crown a shooter. Anyone? 37-39 mm hole in a Crown Graphic Speed Graphic 4x5 board?

Perry, I can help you with the lens - 39mm screw mount - but not the board I'm afraid.

Have a nice Rodenstock Rodagon 135mm f5.6 and exceptional Rodenstock APO Rodagon N 105mm f4 I'm considering parting with...as well as a couple of 75mms - one of which I'll hold on to in case I'm enticed back to 6x6.

Drop me a PM if you're interested.
