Hi All,

A tip - if (like me) anyone was looking for a lens spanner, they are as rare as hens teeth in the UK. S K Grimes in the states sells one at $40, delivered internationally (that's about £21). I ordered one on the 4th October; it arrived today (9th), and is very well made and effective; even has its own padded box.

I'll just add that I've had one of those for several years. I don't know where the box has gone, but the spanner is always in my camera bag/sack/pack/suitcase or whatever I'm taking out.

I don't think I have to add that I have far more lenses than lens boards...

I bought mine when I went LF from Robert White. Flat steel, simple but OK. Dennis

I also got one recently from R White. Didn't see any hen's teeth though

Funny you should say that! Someone on UK eBay is offering a set of 3 lens boards for the Carbon Infinity – only GBP180 the set

Thanks for the tip - I'll keep an eye on that. They're cheaper than new ones, anyway...
