Hello to all,
I'm looking for assistance with the Schneider 72mm XL mounted on a Wista SW45, and what lens board to use in order to get the most out of this lens. Currently I have the lens mounted on a standard Wista Copal 0 lens board. The lens board has the "standard" Linhof offset mount which causes the back of the lens to rest on the bottom of the bellows, pushing the bellows down.
Wista states that the standard bellows can be used for lenses down to 65mm without the need of switching to a bag bellow. The question is basically, does anyone have experience with this combo? What bellows are you using? and, what lens board do you have it mounted to? Is there a standard (or rule of thumb) as to when you need to go to a recessed lens board, and when to deviate from the "offset" mount?
Really, any assistance would be greatly appreciated.:o
Sincerely,
Art
