Hey,
I have a older wooden 5x7 tailboard view camera that I need a couple of lens boards for. I have made a couple from wood and 1/4" plastic, but they feel weak and warpable. Also, I am unsure as to the maker of my camera, I rescued and restored it and have yet to find a brand. It looks very similar to a B and J, with some subtle differences.
-I know of SK Grimes. Is there anybody better/recommended??
-Also, can I expect any issues using a metal lens board in a wooden field camera?
Thanks,
Nate
