Hi,

I need to buy an undrilled Ebony/Wista lens panel (for an Ebony 45SU). I have searched the net and have found nothing. Does anyone know if you can get these things in the UK?

Thanks in anticipation

Steve

Badger in the US has them. Try Walker in the UK, he uses the same board right?

I made the Ebony/Wista lens panel the standard dimension board for all my view cameras. I don't have all the little notches and other features, just a flat board. This makes it easy going from Deardorff to Ebony to Kodak to Toko. In some cases I've had to make adapters.

Bottom line is that I had a machinist make me a stack of lens panels years ago. It cost me about $50 for a dozen.

001013 is a Linhof Technika 45 board with a pilot hole. 4518 is a Wista Technika 45 type board with a pilot hole. Have you tried to find either of these? 4520 is a Wista is the number that Wista uses for all 0 1, 3 and blank boards. So to order a blank Wista board you would order 4520 blank. In the USA that would be a special order only. Possibly the same in the UK.
