I have a vintage brass no-name rapid rectilinear lens that covers 5x7. I am looking at using it on my little Wists 4x5, but won't be mounting a period correct pneumatic shutter to the camera. I do have a "project quality" leaf shutter and I am exploring the possibility of mounting the lens to that shutter and mounting that combination to a standard Toyo-Wista board.
It will need a new flange for the shutter and a thread adapter for the lens and shutter. I cannot fabricate any of this myself. Is SK Grimes still doing acceptable work? Is there a better alternative?
