Here is what you see in the attached picture, in order of stacking sequence:
1. A universal iris flange mount, opening about 125mm
2. The 1st SKG adapter which mounts the iris flange to a set of male threads
3. The 2nd SKG adapter with timed, corresponding female threads that the iris flange adapter mounts into, which is then attached to an SKG Sinar lens board
4. This SKG Sinar lens board "sandwich" is then mounted into a Sinar Auto Aperture shutter
5. The thicker "sandwich" with the Sinar Auto Aperture shutter is then mounted into the Deardorff V8 front standard with a Sinar-to-Deardorff lens board adapter
The picture is worth a thousand words - so it can be done, and it does work well. Definitely a buy-once, cry-once affair.
