Greetings,
I have two questions, one regarding lens mounting, the other regarding camera plates:
1.) I recently purchased a used Arca Swiss B1 Ballhead with Really Right Stuff clamp, and I'm wondering what camera plate I am going to need to accompany my Shen Hao 4x5. I looked on the Really Right Stuff website in order to identify what clamp it is, but the website did not show one resembling it. I was going to email Really Right Stuff with an attached picture of the clamp so that they could make a recommendation (and identify the clamp), but they have no email address (as they mention on their site). So, it's up to us. I would be more than happy to email someone a photo of the clamp, if necessary. FYI, it looks just like any other clamp, only a little 'less fancy.'
2.) I also recently purchased a Rodenstock Grandagon 65mm lens mounted on a sinar lensboard, and I am going to need to remount the lens onto a copal 0 shen hao compatible board (which I have). How do I go about gently and properly removing the lens from the sinar board and mounting it on the shen hao board? Do I need special tools? Is there a tutorial available somewhere on the net?
All help is appreciated. Ma Selema.
