View Full Version : Are lens boards interchangeable
Just got a Symmar 180mm lens in a Copal #1 shutter for my Toyo View 45G (which uses 158mm square lens boards). The only lens board I have is for Copal #0.
What are my options. A new board from Toyo is way too expensive. I'm looking at used boards. What brands will work? For example, will a Lihof or Sinar board work?

KEH and Midwest usualy have a good selection of used boards. No need to buy new.
Here is the KEH page for lensboards, with several Toyo boards listed by hole diameter:

Off the top of my head I can't tell you if any other brands are 158mm square, but SK Grimes web site has a nice table detailing specs for many boards, they also list compatibles in those cases.
here I dug up the link for you:

edit:
sorry I just noticed they only list the toyo field and not toyo view, hmm guess the chart isn't complete :)
