I just bought a 300mm Schneider-Kreuznach lens that's equipped for use on the Graflex camera. However, I own a Calumet studio camera. How and/or where can I have this lens fitted onto a lensboard to use on my Calumet?
Thanks!

If you have a board for your Calumet drilled with the proper sized shutter hole, the process of removing the lens from the Graphic board and installing on the Calument board is pretty simple and only takes a few minutes, often times you will need to have a spanner wrench to do it correctly, but I have done simular opperations without them, the spanner makes it easier.

You don't say what model your Calumet is. If it's a C-400 series 4X5, a 4X4 Speed Graphic board will work on it. The light trap is different but I've not had any problem with mine.
