I received a bargain grade Schneider 150mm f5.6 Apo-Symmar recently from KEH for my 4x5. I am having trouble mounting it to an offset Linhof board and any advice would be appreciated.
The issue is that the shutter has a small protruding screw preventing it from sitting flush with the board. I am not sure why it would be there unless it is there to accommodate a spacer which did not come with the lens and retaining ring.
Please look at the pictures below and offer your opinions - I am not sure if I should contact KEH to exchange the lens.
Thanks!
