hello! anyone here knows someone who makes custom made lensboards?
searching for a board to fit a 210mm f3.5 tessar on a pacemaker speed graphic.

preferably eu, but rest of the world is also ok :-)

atm i have to mod my front standard with fatter spacer to hold my current lensboard, but i would like to restore my front standard to the original condition.


thanks!

You could probably contact this guy and find out if a custom board is possible. I've ordered a few copal 0's and 1's from him that work very nicely.

Wow, nice price and sizes.

I have had good luck hand drilling lens boards larger, by careful and secure clamping to wood, centering is also obviously paramount.

But this guys price is great!

Are the Pacemaker Speed Graphic boards different from a Crown Graphic? If not, I've bought a few from heavystar on eBay and been very pleased. If I remember correctly, columbuscameragroup (eBay) also sells them.

I know, right?! Etsy has a great advantage over Ebay in terms of seller fees, I'm sure that's a big part of it.

If the Crown is also a pacemaker, then yes, they are the same.

Sonofagun. I just ordered three lens boards from heavystar yesterday. They don't have the side bumps that I need for my super speed so I have to put black felt on the back. Wish I'd seen these ones, they are compatible with the super and great price too.
