Sources for Durst 138 lensboards?

[John Schneider]

I'm finally finishing my darkroom, and now I need some lensboards that fit the three-lens turret on a 138. I'm all set except for a board with a 50mm thread (for a 150 Rodagon) and a 58mm thread (for a 180 Apo-Rodagon). Does anyone know the Durst designations for lensboards for these lenses, and hopefully some sources? N.B. I'd rather not deal with Glennview, although I do realize that is a source.

I bought 3 disks from a couple of guys on EBAY and then I took the lenses and the disks across the street to the machine shop and they cut the holes in the disks to match the lenses.

While only one of these may be what you want, the Seller is always selling them.

Another seller, Durst Pro has them yet the price is likely to be like the party that you choose to not use.

A manual should tell you exactly which plates you need so that you could set up a search/feedback with eBay.

Hello, can you tell me who the seller is, I could't bring up the numbers on eBay? I was looking for a lensboard also.

Thanks,

I've got two boards from my 138 that I'm not using currently. One is flat with a threaded hole that is approximately 25 mm in diameter. The other is a high hat type that has what appears to be a 39 mm fine thread hole about 1/2" away from the mounting flange. If you are interested I can post pictures and determine a fair price. BTW, does your turret turn smoothly and drop into it's detents positively?

[Turner Reich]

My turret was stiff when I got it originally, I removed the set screw with a small flat head screw driver and removed the nut and took off the turret. There is a detent that has a small set screw in the front that has to be backed off too. Remove them and the turret comes off without any problem and nothing will fall out or pop off. Clean the surfaces, especially the shaft. You can apply a small amount of machine oil, like sewing machine. Reassemble and it will operate like new.

Hi !
Go to Durst Web site in Italy and look for the shop. IMHO, they are still available new. But I've no idea about the price.

I believe what you are looking for is a LAPLA 58 and a LAPLA 50. I don't know if Jens Jensen is still in business, but you could try him. Web site is:
