To get started in LF, I got a $250 "system" comprised of a Calumet cc-402 (the wide angle model), and an old Super Angulon 90 with a Compur #00 shutter in a recessed lens board. Everything looks OK, except that it's almost impossible to operate. The shutter has neither a preview lever nor a T setting, and is hard to operate in that recessed lens board. From what I've read, I don't think a recessed lens board is needed with that camera with a 90mm, so I want to get a non-recessed lens board.
So I was thinking of getting one of these and having them drill it for a #00 shutter. I assume this will be simply a hole with no threading (the recessed lens board I have has a threaded insert so the shutter screws into it).
If I get this new lens board drilled with no threading, I'll need a nut that screws on the back of the #00 shutter to hold it to the board. Any idea where I can get such a nut?
Does this plan make sense?
