There's plenty of information about this, but it's scattered in the winds of the internet, which makes it impossible for me to figure out.
So I currently have two lenses and one lens board.
Lens 1 - Schneider Symmar 210mm f/5.6 (the one that "convertible" into a 310mm)
Lens 2 - Kodak Ektar 127mm f/4.7 (it's old and came with my Speed Graphic)
Both of these lenses fit in the one lens board that came with my camera. Both are mounted in what appears to be the same size Compur shutter. Copal 0? Copal 1? I have no freaking idea. But I assume that this size sorta dictates the lens board size needed.
The threads (the ones that actually go through the lens board hole) on the back of the Symmar and the Ektar are 39mm in diameter. The hole in the lens board is slightly bigger at 39.5mm or so.
So I want a new lens board. I got to KEH and look around. I see Graphics Press lens boards and a couple Graphics View. I assume I need the Press. I then see several options for hole size - 29, 32, 34 and 35.
What am I looking for? What "mount size" lens do I have? What lens board do I have? What lens boards should I buy to match my existing lenses?
Thanks for your help!
