A 4x4 lens board for my new (to me) Wollensak 3 1/2" (90mm) f/6.8 lens to use on my Kodak Master View Large format camera. My first try done during my lunch break at work. A total of 4 lunch breaks to get it. A couple of goofs that messed up the line of the polished rim but that doesn't prevent it from doing it's job. More polishing to do and more attention to detail on the next one.

Made from a solid billet of aluminum it is 4"x4" with a 5/8" recess.

They're not goofs, they're a "Feature". Hey, if Microsoft can get away with it...
Nice job, though.

It doesn't close up enough?

Looks like a neat lensboard.
Just say those cutouts are there for clearance for the shutter release and etc.

I've already used that with a friend at work!! HA HA!! The wooden one that came with the lens was really cut out just for that reason. I have four more flat lens boards in the works and will try one of them with this lens when I'm finished.

Still getting my kit together. Just received 6 film holders and have a dark bag on the way to me. Got an old sweat shirt to use as a focusing cloth. Just a matter of ordering some film then try it out.
