Thanks to generosity of another LFF member I have a spare copal O shutter.
I'd like to get hold of something either fun or useful to mount in it.
I'm thinking either easily obtainable cells or something funky for 4x5 to use on a pacemaker Graphic.
Already have 90mm and a 7" Aero Ektar.
Any ideas folks?

Thanks Vinny ,I'm really looking for ideas on easily obtainable cells and stuff that will screw straight in, a holga lens barely covers 2 1/4 let alone 4x5!
Any other ideas folks?

Most of the LF Schneider enlarging lenses, like 150mm Componon-S etc. will come out of barrel and go directly into Copal 0 up through the 150mm. 180mm takes Copal 1.

The rear half of the 90 will be funky, and will cover.

Almost every "modern" lens line-up like the Clarons, Symmars, Super Angulons etc.. have a focal length that will screw into a Copal 0. Those are all modern boring lenses though. You could try to find a really small old lens that you could front mount the Copal too. Some of the old wide angle brass lenses might be small enough.

Is there a special copal 0 coke bottle?
Thanks for some useful suggestions too though chaps.
Anymore?
