I have searched the forum and done a general online search, but can not find a clear answer to my question.
I am wondering how many millimeters offset down holes on the Ebony lens boards holes are drilled. I'm asking as I am looking for boards for Copal 0 and 1 shutters, and prefer plain black boards rather than the Ebony brand boards, which have an ebony laminate.
I have an Ebony RSW45. It has one set of alignment dots on the lens standard, a red, and plain engraved dot, which are for zeroing the standard. Zeroing the lens would require no guesswork with boards of proper spec.
There are many options for hole placement on Linhof style boards. Generic boards seem to come with centered holes, and 3 or 4mm offset holes. I have new Linhof Technika boards. I don't have an accurate way to measure, but the holes on these seem to be offset about 8mm. In a past thread someone mentioned their 57 Ebony had two sets of dots on the lens standard, and said they were 7mm apart.
Does anyone know the exact amount the holes on Ebony branded lens boards are offset down from center? If I can find that out, I can order the boards I need from Luland in China through Ebay. The person I have been in contact with has been very helpful and professional, and their products look well made.
I'll also try contacting a couple of retailers that sold Ebony cameras next week, such as Robert white, and Badger Graphics. I'm not sure if Ebony is still available for contact or not.
I'd appreciate any solid, accurate info on these specs, thanks!
