Hello all!
This is my first post here. I've recently come to acquire a lovely 1954 Pacemaker Speed Graphic (4x5) with the Optar 135mm f/4.7 lens. Unfortunately, the glass is not in the best of shape...
I intend to replace the Optar with a Nikkor W 135mm f/5.6 S lens. My question is:
Is the opening on the original Graflex board sufficient to mount the Nikkor as well? So far, my research has been inconclusive. Though, I have heard the size is similar to, if not exactly a Copal #0. My only option otherwise would be to acquire a custom-drilled board.
Thanks!
