Hi, everyone -
Well, after my last attempt at a lensboard worked, but lost me infinity focus with the Raptar 90/6.8 I've been trying out, I decided to make a recessed lensboard. The whole ordeal is chronicled over to nelsonfoto.com (which is, by the way, a really nice forum with lots of great people, for anyone who hasn't been there yet). But, in a nutshell, here 'tis:
The tub is a maple butt-jointed affair, painted on the outside with semi-flat paint (thought it was flat...) and flocked on the inside with SuedeTex black flocking. The front board is another piece of cherry. The whole thing nets me about 4 cm depth, which gets me infinity back when I drop the bed.
Film's on its way; I'll be testing this thing out next week. Wish me luck!
Scott
