    Lens board dimensions for Korona View 8x10?

    I just got a Korona View 8x10 and I’m away from home for the weekend (Camera is at home). Does anyone have one and know the lens board dimensions? I know the one I purchased has a shutter that doesn’t work so I was envisioning I would just need to remove it altogether and use my lenses with shutters. Just wasn’t sure about the dimensions.

    I think they are 6x6 with square corners?

    Kleiny,

    Korona 8X10 will use the same lens board as a Kodak 8X10 2D. And yes, they are 6X6 inches.

    Do you know anything about removing or repairing the lens board that has its own shutter? The camera came with one board with a broken shutter that I can’t necessarily get to stay open.

    Good pictures of the problem may help. Use your phone.

    Packard shutter and very nice to have actually.

    I have one just like it on my 5X7 Korona. I use it with lenses that have failed shutters.

    Still made and sold. https://packardshutter.com/

    So worth it to get it repaired? That is kind of what I was thinking.
