Search used camera sites for a Series ? that is closest to your lens diameter. http://graflex.org/helpboard/viewtopic.php?t=264 These two posts say its a Series VI (6) 1 1/4 inch/ 31.5mm adaptor. http://graflex.org/helpboard/viewtopic.php?t=4782 http://graflex.org/helpboard/viewtopic.php?t=3900 |

But 31.5 mm is a very common slip ring; my 101 Optar and 103 Century (Graphex, i.e., Wollensack) lenses both take this size. OP should have little trouble finding one on the auction site or at a camera show. |
