    Cable release adpater needed for Linhof recessed board

    Hello,

    I have 90/5.6 super angulon mounted on a Linhof recessed board. The cable release
    adapter is broken and it is no possible to screw a cable release in any decent way.
    Currently, I have attached a cable release with glue, but this solution is far from perfect
    and fails to work too often.

    I would appreciate if someone could point me a source of a cable release adapter for this
    type of boards. I would rather prefer to change only the cable release adapter, and not the
    whole board, if possible.

    Thanks,

    Pau
    Best,
    Pau

    Any Linhof service center, including the factory in Munich.

    There are several adapters available at B&H such as this one: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produc...k_Adapter.html

    I would think that these can also be found in Spain.

    While the Gepe L-Hook Metal Cable Release Adapter is very nice to have & use ( I own couple & use them most always) but I find when used on Linhoff Tech recessed lens boards that the elbow is often to long to fit w/ certain lens/shutter combos.
    I've found the Gepe 3.25" (8.3 cm) Flexible Cable Release Extension works better for the tight fit of the Tech recessed boards as it can be fitted tighter spaces & it also doesn't rattle around when left on the lens/board permanently when in travel.

    Yes I have a couple of recessed lens boards on linhof shutters right now with the 250 sonnar and both the other dream team lenses and I don't understand that cable release thing. It seems there is no way I can push a standard flexible cable release down in the thing and get it to screw in. I thought I must need a special type of cable release.

    You need either the Linhof cable release with the tapered, non-threaded tip or you need the Linhof cable release adapter tip which converts a standard Linhof threaded cable release tip into a non-threaded one.

    I find these type to be the most convenient, permanent and easy to deal with.
