The largest size boards I have are 6x6, but none of the lenses I have (so far) are physically very large. I'll just order a 15" one and go from there...

Opinions on best Lens Wraps for transporting LF lenses on lens boards, please!

Typically, what's the best size?

Here's a thread on Photrio where the manufacturer of King tanks announces their return to production.

What filament are you printing? PETG?

You probably won't ever see this low of a price again on 5x7 Foma 400.

Thank you. I can say with certainty the lens is a Plasmat, as I took it apart to try to clean the light haze; it only helped marginally.
