18.5" Kodak Anastigmat Questions

[mat4226]

Hey Guys! :D

I picked up a longer lens for 8x10 on the cheap, an 18.5" Kodak Anastigmat f/10. It would appear to be a process lens, but maybe you guys could shed some light on the situation. The threads on the front element are ~57mm while the back are 58mm, and fit swimmingly into a Copal 3 shutter. I'm looking to find any shutter that will fit. Am I SOL, or is there a work-around for the front element's shortcoming?

You need to match the threads and the original spacing. You'll probably need an adapter made by someone like SK Grimes.
