I am new at this and have a question. I searched for my problem but it is hard to describe.
I am so close to getting started this is killing me!
Schneider Symmar 1:5.6/150 mm convertable.
Copal No1 shutter.
I finally got the correct Toyo lensboard (110mm x 110mm). When I take the ring off the back of the lens to mount the lens there is a screw that sticks out above the back of the lens about 3/32 of an inch and will not allow the lens to lay flat. What is it? I did not try to tighten it for fear it is a calibration screw for the shutter.
1.Does one drill a small hole so that the lens lays flat?
2.It seems to me that the apature ring will rub the lensboard but hopefully the collar behind the lens is out a couple of thousands.
3. This is really getting greedy but how do you "convert" the lens?
Thanks,
Riooso
