Okay, I know I've seen this post before, but for the life of me, I can't find it. I have a RB12 and I have a Speed Graphic with the 135 Optar. The only problem is that I don't see a mask listed for this particular lens/camera combination. The closest I can find is a mask that goes to 127mm. Which mask do I need for mine? Sorry for any duplication.

Thanks for the part number, but what mask number is that to get a 6x6cm picture on a 4x5 camera with a 135 lens? Is it a number 14? Thanks for the help!

I own a similar 4x5 Crown Graphic/135mm lens combo.
You are right. 22 mask is a #14.
23 mask is a #8.
and 45 sheet film mask is #4.

Hi again.....i'm constantly finding new (to me) pages on this site. Here's the chart...

Unfortunately those charts don't include the mask numbers for 2-1/4" x 2-3/4" images. Could this information be added to that page? I have posted same on this board previously, as taken from an RH-20 Roll-Vance instruction booklet.
