This is a Universal Lens Board system with M80x3 round threaded lens boards.
It makes using the same lenses on variety of different LF cameras a breeze.
Lens change or moving the lens from one camera to another takes seconds.
For this system to work a minimum of one M80x3 round threaded lens board and one matching M80x3 threaded lens board adapter for intended camera.
The system also brings capability of using these lens boards with extensions in combination with all M80x3 lens board adapters for making custom top hat extended lens boards in seconds.
It will also work in recessed and extended lens boards for larger cameras (Sinar, Cambo, Toyo, Linhof Kardan and other large recessed lens boards can be made to be compatible with M80x3 threaded lens boards).
All components are 3d printed from ABS engineering plastic for best performance and longevity. Much higher temperature resistance than standard 3d printing filaments.
The system consists of smaller M80x3 round universal threaded lens boards and M80x3 lens board adapters that will fit your cameras.
It's an excellent option for owners of two or more different large format cameras. It's also a good option for travel and ease of packing since threaded lens boards can be removed from the lens boards and the whole package is easier to pack.
Difference in packing size gets much bigger with larger lens boards.
All standard Copal/Compur shutter holes are available - #00, #0, #1, #2 and 3" or it can be made with custom hole.
Rear cell that will fit through the M80x3 thread without removal is 76mm. Very large rear cells over 76mm will have to be unscrewed before mounting or mounted in their own adapter.
If using extensions, maximum rear cell diameter is 71mm. If larger rear lens cell needs to be accommodated, extended M80x3 lens board adapter can be used.
Please inquire about extensions and recessed lens boards. They're not included in this listing. Recessed and extended lens boards available in standard increments up to 100mm. Custom lens boards with more than 100mm of recess or extension possible on special request.
