Hi, I got a Aero Ektar 7" f2.5 lens and an Anniversary Speed Graphic 4x5 camera, and would like to find the suitable mounting options. The wooden lens board is of the Graflex type C, measuring 4x4".
Since the lens is quite heavy, it will be good to have a secure mounting. Also the lens is quite big in comparison to the lens board.
I searched online, but almost all the nicely machined and reasonably priced options (e.g. RAF camera) are for Pacemakers' smaller metal lens boards. I'm not sure the 3D printed options will be secure enough.
Any suggestion will be appreciated!
P.S. I did test mount the lens on a wooden 6x6" Deardorff board, via friction as well as rubber hose clamp. And it was very secure.
