I am a 4x5 newb. I'm hoping someone can help me figure out how to mount my lens.
I recently purchased a Schneider Xenar 150mm f4.5 Lens Compur Shutter from Ebay. Separately, I bought a Copal 1 lens board.
If you see the attached picture (from the ebay listing) there is a large ring -- not the retaining ring that can screw off -- surrounding the back of the lens. Do I remove this ring to attach the lens? Right now the lens does not fit on the board. I've researched and I have the correct Copal size and I've measured to make sure I didn't receive an incorrect one by mistake.
If I look at other examples of this lens -- https://www.camleyphotographic.com/shop/schneider-xenar-f4-5-150mm-lens-w-compur-shutter-condition-5e-6181/ -- that large ring is not on the back of the lens.
Is there anyone that can possibly offer advice on how to mount this lens?
Thank you in advance for your time and help.
