The outside dimensions of the lensboard is 4" x 4" it will be a cast metal, not a sheet metal stamping like Speeds and Crowns. The same lensboards work on the grey (not the current) Calumet & the 4x5 Kodak Master View. These will show up on ebay from time to time, Check also the links on this site for used equipment, Midwest Camera Exchange might have them.
There is a specail adapter lens board out there that will allow you to use a Speed Graphic lensboard on your Graphic view. This will limit the diameter of the rear glass of any lens you might want to use, but Speed Graphic lensboards are still being made and are easier to find.
As to a lens, a 90mm lens may be a bit wide for this camera since the bellows will be somewhat tight and may limit movements. A 90 Fuji, or a 90mm Super Angulon will work just fine. But you might find a 120-150mm lens that covers 5x7 more satisifying.
