How or where would you find a retaining ring for a 250mm Wide Field Ektar Kodak lens?

If it's in an Ilex/Acme 5 shutter, as it usually is, you can buy a new flange (not a retaining ring) from www.mpex.com. If for some reason, you really needed it to be a retaining ring, rather than a flange, you would probably need to have it custom made by a machinist like S.K. Grimes.

If you send it off to S.K. Grimes they can mount it on the lensboard and give the shutter a good CLA while they've got it...

Thanks David. I just want to fasten it to a Sinar board. A flange is probably better than a ring in this case.

Just to confirm, the flange does fit on a Sinar board.

A couple of years ago I bought a spare flange for an Ilex 5 shutter from Mpex. I just called Jim Andracki there and told him what I needed.
