I Need a Wisner Lens Board

**Jeff Moore** · 28-Jan-2005, 15:21

I am in need of a cherry lens board for a #3 Copal shutter for my Wisner Expedition 4x5. I placed an order for one from Wisner seven weeks ago, and the once-a-week phone calls don't seem to be getting me any closer to actually getting one. So, I thought I would check the used market. Anyone out there have one for sale, or know of another source for one? Please, someone say yes just so I can have the pleasure of telling Ron Wisner to stick my order where the sun doesn't shine.

Have you tried ordering a blank or mahogany board from Ron? Last time I ordered one of those I had it within a week.

Also 3/16" black gatorboard makes a nice tempoary board, just compress it to get it under the slides.

Jeffrey,

Have you tried calling or e-mailing Jim, at Midwest Photo Exchange (jim@mpex.com)?

Thanks, Eugene. I'm on it.

It seems Midwest Photo is also waiting frustratingly on the same. :-(

Check with Quality Camera in Atlanta. Also, Richard Ritter in Vermont will make lens boards as good as the originals or custom adapter boards in a jiffy.

Good Luck!

By the way, there is a slew of them on E %@#.

As Homer Simpson would say, Doh! Why didn't I think of that? Must have had a brain cramp.

I'll second Michael on Richard Ritter www.lg4mat.net. I now order all my boards from him.
