I have a Wista and am getting a Technikardan. I have a Schneider 90mm xl, the rear element of which won't fit through the hole in the front standard. I can remove the rear element and then re-attach it once the lensboard is on. That whole process is a huge pain though. Is there any reason for the circular opening to be so small? Can I just cut/grind the hole another 1/4 inch wider to accomodate the XL? I don't want to trash my cameras but it would solve the single problem in an otherwise great camera system (for me anyway).
Any advice is appreciated, also I know some skilled metal people to do the work, not on my own with a hacksaw
