I am trying to determine the size hole required to mount it. Does anyone have any information about mounting these Graphex lenses/ any lists of sizes available? |

Wolly shutters weren't made in standard Compur/Copal/Prontor sizes, so buying a board drilled for, e.g., Copal #0, isn't a good idea. SKGrimes has boards and can drill them. www.skgrimes.com |

Was wondering what sort of lens board people have successfully mounted them in, since I'm going want to order one soon. For my use case, initially, I'm hoping it'll help me comfortably shoot normal shots when using a 6x7 roll back. (and once I do get the stuff for sheet film, so I can shoot wide-angle) |
