I used to use one of those on an aero camera made from an Anniversary
SG and sheet metal to protect the bellows. Unfortunately, the lens is
so big that it will only fit on a 4x5 Anniversary SG lensboard; the
Baby speeds (of which I used to have 2) and the various post-war models
(Pacemaker, crown and super) have lensboards which are too small.
BTW, one of my friends here picked up a Rolleicord III in perfect
condition for ?12 at a flea market Saturday. Even the slow shutter
speeds work. I am borrowing it for the week to 'check it out' for him.
