That's exactly what I do when I need a slightly bigger hole - it just isn't worth the cost and time to send it to SK Grimes. Some sand paper and a rounded file can do wonders!

Jim, Juergen, Dan, Francisco and Michael... Thank you so much.
So by the sounds of it, my best best is to file a lens board down myself. I also own a 100mm wide field ektar, and it is smaller than a copal #1, but this 135mm wide field ektar is just (by a hair it seems) larger than a copal #1. SO, I'm going to look on ebay for a Technika lens board with a copal #1 and file it down.
I really appreciate all of your speedy replies!
Best,
Lisa
Oh, and thank you Eugene!
I will also check out www.keh.com right now, before I attempt Ebay.
Cheers!

Lisa, It's 46mm.
Lisa,
Online copy of the original Kodak Wide Field Ektar Lens publication can be found at the Camera Instruction Manuals Online website (http://yandr.50megs.com.) The direct link to the publication is yandr.50megs.com/kodak/ektar/page1.htm
The instructions for mounting the lens begin at the bottom of page 3. Table III (on page 4)indicates 48mm to be the appropriate lens board mounting hole diameter for the 135mm Wide Field Ektar.
