lens panel wanted

I am after a recesses no1 Technika panel. I have just got a 180 nikkor and it just focusses @ infinity on the Shen, so I am after trying to get a little more "reach" by using the panel in reverse.

If anyone has one let me know.
Cheers
Gari

Wouldn't you be better off buying a top hat panel, see below?

I wasn't really interested in that as they are insanely priced in my estimation. I am sure I can get a lens panel for a lot less.

Gari, I made aboard for my Wista from an old recessed Sinar board, reversed, at the time I had a 24omm Symmar & the board and no money for a new lens or Wista/Linhof style board, these days My 210 Symmar is fitted to the board, and my 65mm SA sits on another home-made board and neithr cas ever caused any problems.

The old Sinar board is in Turkey & I'm not back until next week. Basically I just cut the board to Linhof shape or rather what would fit the Wista, filing the edges to match/fit, nothing fancy at all.j I may actually now have a spare generic board but the old Sinar board works perfectly so I can't see a reason to change it over now..

This is a more realistic price.

I've just ordered one myself, so can't say just yet how good it is.
