Canham to Sinar/Horseman Adaptor?

[sanking]

I have a new camera that takes 5 1/2" square Sinar/Horseman lens boards. Is there an adaptor board that will allow me to use lenses already mounted in 4 1/4" square Canham lens boards?

Sandy,

Sinar made a 5 1/2" adapter to use Toyo 4 1/4" square boards. I use one. But Canham 4 1/2" boards will not fit in it, too tight. If you can find one, Toyo boards fit the Canham camera's just fine, and will fit the adapter. Option?

I just made one by taking a Chinese Sinar to Linhof adapter that I had and cut a hole large enough for the Canham board and moving the clamps - works OK and it did not take a lot of skill or time.

Yeah. I've got a Sinar F2 and a Canahm wood field - would dearly love to get my hands on a Sinar-Canam adapter at a reasonable price. It looks like Bromwell sell one but, I called Ted and he said he hasn't sold them in years...

I wonder why Keith Canham doesn't offer one. I mean, his larger cameras use Sinar sized boards - right? It just seems natural.

I would also like one...

Couldn't find a cheap one, so I ended up having one made by SK Grimes.
