    Recessed lens board, CC-419

    Hi I am trying to find a recessed lens board for a Calumet CC-401. I have looked on e-bay and midwest photo exchange and have not been able to find one yet. The model number from calumet is CC-419.

    I don't think it would be that hard to make it either out of foam board or even machine it out of aluminum.

    The problem is I don't have one to get the dimensions off of, specifically how far back the recess is, how tapered the walls are to clear the front standard mount, and if there is a bead on the backside of the main flange like there is on the flat boards I have.

    I made a rough drawing which is attached. If anyone has a board maybe they could compare dimensions and let me know if the drawing is accurate. Or if someone has a board that they want to sell or know where to buy one that would be great. I know SK Grimes could probably make one but I think it might be a bit too pricey for me.

    Thanks,
    Bill

    That looks like it might be it.

    The one picture I have is in the instruction manual for the camera and the flanges look wider.

    I did look on the Calumet site, how did you search to get it??

    60 bucks is not bad I guess...

    Thanks,
    Bill

    Just type 400 into the search box. Then narrow it to the Calumet brand stuff. You'll find the few things they still sell for the CC-400 type cameras.
