Hi everyone! This is my first post on the forum, be kind! :)
I am looking to mount a tessar 165mm f/2.7 on my speed graphic. I have read that the lens isn't compatible with this model as the rear end of the camera collides with the camera. I have however seen a very clever way round this, making a thicker lens board which then prevents any contact... (see link)

So my question.. do you know of anyone who is able to make such a lens board for me? Or, does anyone know of any other way I can mount this lens?
Alternatively, I could buy an Anniversary Speed Graphic. From what I've read, this camera is compatible with the tessar. If anyone has one and is willing to sell it, let me know!
Thank you.
