Hi All,
I was lucky enough to get a very good deal on a mint condition Schneider 72mm Super Anglon. It came mounted on a standard linhof board. I am trying to use the lens on two different cameras, a Toyo 45AII and a Cambo SC, both of these cameras have Adapter boards to permit the use of linhof style boards. I can get the lens to focus, with extremely minimal movements on the Toyo, and it won't focus at all on the Cambo even with the bag bellows, though it comes very very close.
I was thinking a recessed linhof style board would work, but they only seem to be about 12mm or so deep. I was wondering if this extra 12mm would be enough for more movements or should I look for another solution, or if there are deeper linhof style boards.
I was looking around and found that Toyo makes/made a 30mm recessed board that would probably work very well, however this would not permit me to use the lens on the Cambo. I also looked around for a Cambo to Toyo field Adapter but have not had any luck.
Any insight would be appreciated as always! Thanx.
