I know it has been discussed previously but would love practical insight.
Just picked up the lens from the post office and to my surprise the rear of the lens just doesn't fit through the standard's light trap. I wasn't expecting this.
Mine has an aluminum retaining ring.
I looked over at Graflex.org, here and Photo.net and all I could find is the radioactive matter which is of no interest to me.
I am mainly interested in knowing if those who actually have this combo mounted had to file down the light trap in their Speeds.
I am aware of SK Grimes (not shipping the whole thing over) and the JoLo lens board that costs 115€. Not interested in putting more money on it either.
If I went down the light trap filing, I suspect the back of the lens would hit the bellows anyway, right?
Any comments or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
