What series of Kodak lens hood do I need for an Optar 203mm lens and a 38cm Tele-Optar lens?

I use series VI on my Optar 203, and indeed on all my Optars. The 203 takes a 39.5mm (1-9/16") slip-ring. Not easy to find anymore. I obtained all of my gear at area camera shows, now, sadly, much reduced. Try uBuy.

These previous post should be of some help.

It's interesting (curious?) that the chart (http://graflex.org/helpboard/viewtopic.php?t=3324), though presumably a Graflex document, lists neither the 65 nor the 105 Optars! The 65 takes a 33 mm slip-ring, though mine would not fit without modification, and the 105 of course takes the ever-popular 31.5 mm slip-ring.
