Linhof Tele-xenar 270mm In Linhof Compour Shutter

[ghe67]

Hi,
does anyone can confirm to me that the Linhof marked Tele-Xenar270mm in a Linhof marked Compour shutter has a 1 size lens board mount?
Thanks

Going by the serial number, the lens pictured is a 270 Tele-Arton, not a Tele-Xenar, and is in a Compur 2 shutter which needs a 53mm hole. Later Tele-Artons were available in a size 1 shutter but I don't think the 270 Tele-Xenar was ever sold that way.

HI thanks,
my mistake I have uploaded the wrong pic...
This is the lens I've bought, the Tele-Xenar 270mm in linhof shutter.
Thanks for your help.

That one is also in a Compur 2.

Just another question:
as there are diffeent Compur 2 size, what is the size hole for this lens? (same as Tele-Arton 53mm?)
It seems very difficoult to find a linhof board drilled for Compur 2 so i need to get a blank board?
Thanks

Yes, they are both in a Compur 2-5 which is a 53mm hole. The trouble is that there is also a Compur 2-6 which is wider so just saying Compur 2 can be confusing. Note that the actual threads on the shutter will pass through a 50mm hole, but the 53mm hole is the correct size to fit the lip on the back of the retaining ring.

Thanks again Paul, your help is much appreciated.
