Are you including the "flange"? The threaded washer thing that you thread the back of the lens onto on the back side of the lens board?

It seems pretty standard but I can include it if needed

Correction: I think you are talking about the retaining ring, but in this case the lens board has a threaded hole where the lens screws in and it seems pretty standard

It's not. The Ilex Acme #4 requires a 2.495 - 30 TPI threaded flange to attach to a lens board. I believe you can get one from S.K. Grimes (or a machinist with a lathe and the proper tooling).

It’ll run you north of a 100 bucks so that’s a deal breaker if not included

Here is the flange that's screwed to the lens board and if it's such a rare and expensive piece I will certainly include it with the purchase. I did test it with a few of my lenses and it is indeed not standard. My bad and thank you for the clarification

Bump, price is negotiable
