Mounting Lens to Sinar Board

[thedistrictline]

Anyone know of machinists in SW London or the central London are? or even how to mount this glorious 480mm ronar to a standard sinar board to use with the sinar shutter. We dont have the perks of SK Grimes over the pond here

I have a spare 140mm Sinar board here, hole is 39mm.

What size mounting hole do you need

Id need a copal 3 65mm board, I can source quite easily more stuck on how to mount, i can probably remove the rear element however it might protrude too far back for the shutter

its mounted by the flange, Twice !

You have two choices, flange mount onto the lens board or undo the screws (at closest to lens) and then you may be able to see if the flange mount is somehow fastened onto the lens in a removable fashion whereby you can mount conventionally onto the lens board.

Or just drill holes in the new board and tap them out for the screw.

As long as the rear cell doesn't protrude more than about 15mm it will be clear of the Sinar shutter blades.
