Hi I am trying to find a recessed lens board for a Calumet CC-401. I have looked on e-bay and midwest photo exchange and have not been able to find one yet. The model number from calumet is CC-419.
I don't think it would be that hard to make it either out of foam board or even machine it out of aluminum.
The problem is I don't have one to get the dimensions off of, specifically how far back the recess is, how tapered the walls are to clear the front standard mount, and if there is a bead on the backside of the main flange like there is on the flat boards I have.
I made a rough drawing which is attached. If anyone has a board maybe they could compare dimensions and let me know if the drawing is accurate. Or if someone has a board that they want to sell or know where to buy one that would be great. I know SK Grimes could probably make one but I think it might be a bit too pricey for me.
Thanks,
Bill
