I don't know of a source, but the range of part numbers you are looking for are:

30882-35 through -39, with -35 being exactly 80mm. Good luck.

How about making your own? That's what I did for my 90mm lens.

Two thoughts. First, send your camera to Fred Lustig, whose name and phone number can be found by searching this board. If that's too frustrating, he's in the Reno, NV white pages.

Second, I had a chat (my first, I hope not my last) with Mr. Lustig this afternoon about what needs to be done to my 2x3 Speed. We touched on focusing scales because my camera has the wrong normal lens for the scale now on it and I thought I should get the right one. He made the point (forcefully, too) that focusing scales' principal use is finding distances for guide number calculations. Their second use, he said, was for using the Kalart RF to find the subject's distance, to be transferred to the focusing scale of the lens in use. He recommended strongly that I not pay him to put the right scale for my normal lens on my camera.

So, what do you want to use yours for? He pooh-poohed the idea of using the scale for guess focusing.

Cheers,

Dan, who had the obsession too.
