Hi all,

So I finally treated myself to a Super Graphic in lovely shape with a 135mm Optar -- the electronic shutter even works and the rangefinder is nicely calibrated. It actually fits in my Domke f-803 -- "stealth" LF!

So I came upon a great price for an Kodak Ektar 203 f7.7 in a CLA'd shutter and jumped, I had been considering a 90mm, but frankly my wide angle "eye" is still a work in progress , so I went long.

I know that the chances of finding a cam for my new Ektar are slim, so it looks like it will be back to the groundglass for this lens (unless anyone has any other approaches). I'm a relative newbie with Graphics, so I'd appreciate any input on setting this up.

I know that finding a Super Graphic lensboard might be tough, is it true that the lensboard from a Pacemaker Speed might work (with minor modifications)? I assume I have to track down a second set of infinity stops, correct?

I'd appreciate any input from folks who have used one of these on their Graphics -- I'm really looking forward to trying it out.

Thanks in advance,

JT

Making your own cam. Might help you if you want to try it.

Too technical for me, but worth reading.
