There are at least a few lenses with 67mm filter threads that would close on a Crown. Are you certain you need to open up the bed? Les | ||

Real hot rods have flatheads, are alll steel, no fiberglass. IMNSHO, the whole point is, close up the camera, PROTECT THE LENS AND BELLOWS. That's the genius of the Graflex and Speed Graphic. Close 'em up, it's like an armadillo rolled up. Cut a big hole in the bed and what protects the lens, front shutter and bellows? Weaken the rails by narrowing them, what keeps them from breaking? It's brass, not Cor-Ten steel. | ||
