The lens in question is a good old Schneider Angulon 90mm. Now I know that people might say that with that lens, my shift scope is very limited anyway... but for the shots in question most of the top parts of the images are sky, and so I am quite content with the fall off in resolution.
I have used this lens in a different-type 25mm recessed lens board on a different camera - and yes, this does become fiddly! I can reach the cocking lever and iris setting of the Synchro-Compur in that lens board from the front though, and am at least mildly optimistic that it should be possible in a Wista board too. Boringly, it will likely involve taking off any lens shades or larger filters adapted to the lens... but I can live with that.
Yes, I believe the Chamonix Technika boards will be the same, so will look out for this!
Thank you again for all your suggestions!
