Sinar Rodenstock 75mm f4.5 Grandagon-N / Sinar F2 lens board question

[Michael Lloyd]

Bear with me, lenses for large format are still black magic to me.

I just picked up a used Sinar Rodenstock 75mm f4.5 Grandagon-N with a Copal 0 shutter. I am planning to use it with my Sinar F2 (I have a set of bag bellows for it if necessary). Do I need a recessed lens board or will the "normal lens board" work? Will I need to use the bag bellows? Actually... I think that's a dumb question because I needed them for a 90mm Nikon lens that I borrowed. Either way, I guess I would like an answer from someone that knows a lot more than I do about it (easy to find here).

Bag bellows will make life much easier. No need for recessed lens board. I have the same camera and lens.
Enjoy the wide world!

I'm looking forward to it. I'm really starting to see the benefit of 4x5.

Let me know if you decide that you need a recessed Sinar lens board. I have an extra half dozen of them sitting in a box in the closet.

BTW, That is a fantastic lens you have there. I used one on a phase one back and it was just as pixel perfectly sharp as the Sironar Digital line... It was a 9 um 22 mp back.
