well, we have put our toes into what i would imagine to be an extremely teeny tiny niche market ... we have a friend, george bouret, who is a professional photographer and gallery owner in pawlet, vt. he bought a new lens for his antique deardorf view camera. it had a different focal length from most other lenses used on this type of camera so he needed a holder that would position the new lens one inch closer to the film. will whipped up the new one and after a little fine tuning ... (angling the bottom slightly as the holder had to swing into the opening because the top metal holder was fixed) off he went ... i dont expect much repeat business on this one but george says even the normal replacement lens boards are hard to find and really expensive if you can find them .... who knows ... maybe well be retiring soon after all ... ahhhh, just kidding ... what would i have to write about then? click the photos to enlarge them ...
original on the right ..
new one on the left, before modification ... good to go now ...
