Does anyone know of a source for a 127mm cam for a top rangefinder Speed Graphic? I have cams for all my other lenses except 65mm Super-Angulon; 90mm Angulon; 150mm Apo Lanthar; 203mm Ektar. The 5" Ektar is such a great all-purpose, quick choice that I don't want to be forced to zone or ground-glass focus when in a hurry shooting "press" style. I watch eBay all the time, but ...
Thanks, Bob

I can't help you finding one but mine is marked .... 127M/MP3

P.S. If you decide to build one I will be happy to provide the dimensions of mine. How accurate should one be? The difference in height between my 127mm and my 152mm cam is about 0.5mm.

somewhere on the web, there is a fairly good article on how to make your own. It involves, ground glass focusing,marking, measureing, and fileing blank pieces of metal. You have to want one very very bad.
