I have a working snappy Graflex Optar 135mm f/4.7 and want to mount it on a Toyo view camera. I need a lensboard and I'm wondering -- will it mount properly in a Copal 0 hole? The back of the lens measures about 1-1/4" dia. Here is a pic...
I see that on the back of the lens there is also has a pin that protrudes with a flathead slot screw top -- will that need to be removed to mount in a "modern" lensboard? If so, can that whole pin be removed easily?
I've had the lens in my closet for years and just now will use it. I need to take sharp handheld shots at 1/400 f/8 -- is this old lens generally considered to be sharp at that aperture? Of course, I can't wait to test it! Excited!
Wishing you great light!
