hello all,
i have a 2-part question for you gurus out there.
1. why are linhof 4x5 boards slightly off center? is it because of rise and fall movements? does having the hole directly centered instead make a big difference?the reason i'm asking is b/c sk grimes has generic lens boards for lots cheaper than new, or even many used linhof boards and i need a couple: specifically a copal #1 for a nikkorM 300, and (i think) a copal #1 for on older rodenstock tele 270 rotelar. grimes' boards have center drilled holes, but for twice as much i can have them drilled off center, so wondering if i need them to be off center...
2. i have a schneider ss58xl wide angle that also needs a 4x5 board. does this board need to be recessed? i'm using it on a linhof master technika.
thanks in advance.
jeff
