    Deardorff 4x5 Special - 4x4" lensboard specs.

    Hello.... Recently got a 4x5 Deardorff 'Special' and want to make several 4x4" lensboards. Can anyone point me to the EXACT specs. for the boards? Including recessed back edge, lip, etc.?
    thanks, Pete

    Deardorff 4x5 Special - 4x4" lensboard specs.

    I have some boards made by Deardorff and a few by Richard Ritter. Both are 4"x4" with a lip that is 1/8" thick and 3/16" wide. The Ritter boards are 1/4" thick while the Deardorff boards are 5/16" thick. Both have a slight bevel on one inside edge. I can get my hands on some calipers for more precise measurements if need be.
