I have a recommendation for a used Cambo monorail for my newest (old) 4X5 camera. My question is: how do I match up lens board, lens, and what else would I need to know for starters? I've seen the basic cameras at KEH, but they don't come with a lens board, and I would guess that I need a Cambo lens board? Also, how do I match up lens board opening and lens shutter size?
And is installing a lens *in* a lens board something I could do myself, or is it best left to a pro? I read Steve Sint's book years ago, but I could find no clear directions for mounting a lens. I therefore guessed at the time that it was best left to the local camera shop pro.
Thanks to all who reply.
With best regards,
Stephen
