Sinar lens board for Super Angulon 65mm

Post by Marizu » Tue Aug 11, 2009 11:57 am Etc/GMT-1+01:00

Hi. I just got a 65mm SA in a recessed Cambo lens board.
I shoot with a Sinar F1 and Sinar P.
I appreciate that the shutter is 00 size which is causing more problems than I thought but I was wondering whether I needed a recessed board.
The lens has a small image circle so the only movements that I would be likely to use would be on the rear standard.
I have bag bellows.
Thanks in advance for any advice or direction in sourcing a suitable board.

I was dyeing to try the 65mm so I made a lens board from an old Horseman board and the 00 Cambo board that I had.
There were some indents inside the Cambo board that were about 5mm outside the (square) recessed area giving a small flange. I cut that and the recess out with a Dremmel.
Then I marked up the Horseman board and cut a square out of that that was a few millimetres larger than the recessed section of the Cambo but smaller than the flange.
I glued the two together using superglue.
It looks ok and seems to focus fine.
I just developed a self portrait and the neg looks great!
