The lens

[Fotoguy20d]

The largest lens/shutter that I have used in a Crown was a 210 Symmar S. I don't know that you will be able to mount anything larger than a copal one shutter in that lens board.

You can get an Acme #3 in there or a Compur #2 but its a tight fit. Biggest lens I ever jammed into my Speed is a nearly 3" diameter projection petzval - it just clears the light traps in the front standard.

I have an Ilex Paragon 8-1/2" f/4.5 mounted on a Pacemaker Speed Graphic. It's in an Ilex No. 4 shutter, and that's probably about as big as a Graphic board can handle. I do have to swing the remote shutter release linkage out of the way. A Copal #3 requires a bigger hole.

Alphax/Betax #4 also just fit, esp. if you saw down the outside of the retaining rings a bit.
