I'd sure like to have an extra lensboard for my Century...any spares?

They also come up on uBuy now and then. I bought one there awhile back. Going rate seems to be ~$20.

Last I knew Midwest had new ones, and would even cut them to size for a reasonable price. I think they only had black ones, which is what you want anyway for your century.

Now hold on there jes' a second, pardner! My Century came with a Graflar 103 lens mounted on a *silver* lensboard stamped with a Graflex catalog number. I have both silver and black lensboards and they all seem to work equally well =;-)

Dang. You made me go look, and while two out of three of my Centuries had the black boards, the one with the Rodenstock lens did indeed have a silver board. So both are correct.

But you still can only get a black one from Midwest. When I last asked them for a silver one for a Pacemaker 23 they were a bit wishy-washy about getting more made. I hope they do; being able to get new boards on demand is nice.
