Five standard matching wooden lensboards designed specially for the camera, and one sunken lensboard for achiving ultra wide angle lens use, without disrupting camera movements.

The camera was designed and built by Herbert Quick, Senior Photographer in the Department of Photographic Services at the University of California at Riverside.
