Did that change the front to rear lens spacing?

Poor Bante doesn't know it yet but he just F@#$%& his lens up! But that's what happens when you rely on internet chat boards - you get all kinds of whacko suggestions. Far better would have been to send the lens along with a new board to a professional like Grimes and have it mounted correctly.

If the tape is a shim between the shutter and the flange how likely is it to change the lens spacing?

Quite likely. It should shift the sharper plane towards infinity but how much it matters for the photographer is up to what he shoots and his personal preference.
And what he did, he can undo easily.
I’m struggling to understand, Jac.
If both lens elements seat on the shutter...
... just as they did before a shim was placed between the shutter and the flange...
... a dimensional change that doesn’t matter at all ...
... just like shimming between the flange and the lens board ( even though I can’t imagine a good reason to do that on a view camera.
And, yes, the shimming or flange rotation ( if that was possible, is completely reversible.
?
Taping the flange rim so the orientation of the shutter on lens board is different to when the shutter is screwed home will have no effect on the distance between lens cells to the shutters iris.
Am I missing something?
I believe we're saying the same thing! Right Brian??
