A customer asked me to mount a 190mm Wollaston Meniscus on his Speed Graphic lensboard.
The retaining clips overhang these small (about 3-5/8" square) boards, limiting the size of the lens.
To get around the problem, I machined some clearance slots in the lens barrel.
It's a marriage made in heaven... the Speed Graphic's focal plane shutter and a Wollaston Meniscus Lens.
The photos also show a flanged Wollaston mounted onto his Cambo board.
The lenses are $55, the mounting service is $39 (you supply your board).
