Hi Gang!

Since I now have a second Kodak Ektar 127mm lens & board (along with the original 137mm Graflex Optar) I'm looking for a second pair of the small flip-up focus rail stops, instead of relying on red marks on the rail. Are there any inexpensive sources for these parts; or shall I simply put up with my alignment marks?

[The reason I'll be switching lenses is that although the Optar is easier to manipulate when I want to lock open the shutter the flash contacts don't work. The Kodak is a PITA to lock open, but the flash contacts work well, firing my SB-26 clone...]

Thanks!
Dan

Dan (Discpad), the parts you're looking for are called a pair of "infinity stops".

Dan,
Which shutter is that Optar in? The flash contacts may be an easy fix.

Charles,

Both the focal plane and (Optar) lens flash contacts don't work.

If you mean the lens shutter contacts, it's a 135mm Graflex Optar f4.7 s/n G20474.

Thanks in advance!
Dan
