Hi,
I have been using my new Ebony 45s with a Wista lens board with off center hole. As I understood providing the red dots of the rise / fall mechanism on the front standard are lined up then the lens will tilt on its optical axis.
However when I try focussing on something at the center of the ground glass and then perform a front axis tilt (forward) to bring the foreground into focus I notice that the center is now completley out of focus. Whereas if I try the same routine and use the back axis tilt (backward) to bring the foreground into focus the center of the ground glass remains in sharp focus as I would have expected.
Is this due to the position of the off center hole on the wista lens panel? I was suprised to find this as I understood that the Wista panel is interchangeable with the linhof type panels which the Ebony takes.
Thanks
Julian
