I've recently purchased an older arca swiss model B (pre F line) and I've hit some problems with lenses and boards. The 171mm boards are massive and quite scarce, the only proper adaptor I've found is very spendy >£100. The camera appears to have been modified by a previous owner with bolts on the front standard to help secure the lens board so I would be unable to sell the adaptor if I move the camera on.
Its been suggested to me that I could cut my current lens board out and rivet a Sinar to Linhof adaptor to the front of my lens board then just use Linhof boards. Apart from losing my only lens board, which is already customised, is there any other drawbacks? Will lose infinity focus for example?
