I've got one of those "top hat boards" for 90mm Angulon, if anyone needs one. I bought it for the Angulon that sat on it... :)

Thanks Ole,

Got 2 0f those now - one with a Suuper Angulon 90/8, one I made for an Angulon 90/5.6.

There's one on ebay at the moment at £36 so someone must need them. Nice to see old kit still being used.

There's hope for me yet.

Hi Ole, I have a mark II/III? will the board fit? if so I would be interested
The boards are recessed and about 90ish mm I think.

Gari, the board is not recessed but extended. Don't ask me why, but that's the way it is!

Except that it's all black, this is what I have: http://www.mppusers.freeuk.com/conepnl2.jpg

Hi Gari,

90mm sounds like a Speed Graphic board (I have one for sale - see other thread if that's of any use).

The MPP VII is 101mm sq with sharp corners; the MPP VIII is smaller and has rounded corners. The MPP user club will have details, also try S K Grimes - they have a good list of lensboard sizes etc.

http://www.skgrimes.com/lensboards/index.htm

The MPP board for WA is extended so that the front standard sits on the rear focussing rails, otherwise the standard sits in the gap where the rails should be and the front board and rails can't be dropped away to prevent vignetting.
