MicroPress 4x5 question

Flat lens boards on Graphics

I don't know if the flat board versions on the Graphics (Graphic View,
Mini Speed, etc), or even my Busch Pressman C have different front
standard light baffling than those with the stamped '3-D' bords.

The hassle I have had with flat board on my Crown Graphic has been
getting them the right size to fit under the board locks.

I made & gave someone a flat aluminum one, painted black, with rounded
corners doen on a belt sander, & he said he had no light leaks.

I had suggested an inner section of foam core. Many people make a '2-
step' flat one instead of the stamped deep ones.

The slide locks really irritated me with the flat boards. If you make
yourself replacement slide locks that are longer, you can run into the
opposite problem from the lens board not staying locked...difficult to
remove.
