I have a late Crown Graphic with both 135m and 90mm Optars. The focusing cam currently inside the body is obviously for the wide angle. Does anyone have a suggestion on where I could get one for the 135? Thanks in advance.

My recommendation would be to give a call to Lens and Repro. Ask for Jeff in the large format department. 212-675-1900. They only really deal with top rangefinder Crowns, Speeds and Supers and have an assortment of cams.

Also Stephen Shuart seems to have cams, although I've never dealt with him and two emails I sent him on another matter went unanswered. You should probably call him. His website is http://www.stephenshuart.com/

As far as I can tell, these are your best bets and much better than waiting for one to come up on eBay.

The P5 Cam is the one I use for my Xenar 1:4.7/135mm lens.
It dimensions are at the following link.

Bravepages won't allow you to go directly to the Cam Drawings. Okay, go to my web site:
