What are the short lenses for the Crown bodies that will fit the boards.

47mm angulon, 65 angulon and probably the superangulons of the same focal length, 88 mm B&L, 90mm Angulon, 90mm Wide Angle Dagor, 90mm Optar,

Well, I don't think that a 47 SA will quite cover 3x4. In the SA line, consider 65/8 and 90/8 Ilex lenses, sold under a variety of names including Acugon and Ilex Caltar. Both cover 2x3, are at least as good as equivalent f/8 SAs and usually cost less.

You might also want to consider a 58/5.6 Grandagon as was sold for the Graflex XL. Two points to consider about this lens. Most of the examples I've seen, includig mine, have bad separations. I use mine on a 2x3 Speed, mounting it on the camera requires unscrewing the rear cell and attaching it from the rear after the shutter and board are on the front standard. Fiddly.

Cheers,

Dan
