Got my beautiful high quality African Mahogany 6x6 Deardorff lens board in the mail today. With some sanding and filing I enlarged the 3 inch hole slightly to allow for the retaining ring to fit nice and smugly. I will test the lens on my 8x10 Deardorff soon, possibly next week. Am quite excited about using this lens to do 8x10 Ambrotypes and 8x10 wet plate negs.
Here is the 1865 Carl Vandyk Brass Petzval lens mounted to its new beautiful woodent lens board.
