Hi Martin

Colin Myers over on the LFPF is clearing out his Canham kit (or so it seems) and may have a suitable one, as you probably know Canham boards are exactly the same size as the Toyo ones

Thanks Andrew!
Funnily enough I'm in contact with Colin (bought a lens),
but the moment I wanted to ask him,
an Ebay price offer was confirmed ... ;-)

Best regards,
Martin

Thanks, that's always good to be confirmed!
Of course I already very much got that impression,
but as I didn't have contact with him until lately,
so basically there's always trust involved with such transactions ...

Bought his minty Schneider 90mm SA-XL, which now needed a lens board :-)
I got a bit frustrated with the image circle of the SS-XL 80mm, so I was going all-in for the Über-90mm ;-)
That's perhaps of course an overkill for landscape, but what the heck as I use this focal length area a lot ...
So I'm already curious! :-)

Best regards,
Martin

Well, I guess it is a monster! ;-)

However, since I got my 8x10 in August, it's all relative ;-)
If you look at a Schneider Super-Symmar-HM 210mm f5,6,
or a Nikkor-SW 150mm f/8, those are real salad bowls ;-)
