Thanks. One more dumb question - the super angulon is marked with Copal 0, but the Fuji 150 just says “Copal” with no number. Does this indicate a particular size or is there another way to tell?

There are different versions but it should be a Copal 0 too. You can find this info and a lot more here:

Would it have a centered or off center hole. Doe it make a difference in use.

Chamonix makes lens boards. All my lenses have them.
Here's their comments from their site:
Continuing to design with the principles of light weight and simple function, Chamonix has developed a carbon fiber lens board, lined with black velvet on the inside in order to reduce reflection.
Currently we have Linhof type and Sinar type boards, but we can make any size lens board to suit your needs.

Contact them to get the model your need. When I bought my, lens, I emailed them and asked which one is required.

Very true... When I had a 4x5 Chamonix, I had one OEM Chamonix lens board and several other Linhof style boards. The OEM Chamonix board was just superior to the others in my opinion - a very subjective statement. I opted to acquire several used OEM Chamonix boards back then for around $30.00 or so each. Present new price I see is $100.00, so acquiring used boards for $30.00 or so probably is not going to happen. Finding used ones for around $50.00 each I would think the present going rate? I would say every worth every bit seeking them out.
