Lens Board Openings?

[maxbloom]

Can someone translate please? I'm looking for some boards for a Cambo 4x5 I just bought...KEH has sizes listed as 41, 42, 52, and 65. I'm used to seeing copal #'s.

Hi, you can get the copal sizes at skgrimes.com or do a google on copal shutters.

Still not completely understanding based on the grimes list. Is 41mm or 42mm the #1? grimes lists #1 as 41.8/41.6.

(M32.5x0.5 means : diameter 32.5mm, length of one thread 0.5mm = 2 threads per
mm = roughly 50 tpi, angle 60 degrees)

That hurts my head, unfortunately.

For what its worth, I have a Wista #1 board with a 42mm hole.

The formatting got removed.

Anyway the chart tells us that the hole opening is 41.8mm and the flange that will fit in the hole is 41.6mm, so there is a little slack. So, go with resummerfields 42mm.
