I'm considering the purchase of a 47mm lens (probably Schneider Super Angulon) f or use on a Canham DLC45. My DLC is configured with the Linhof style lens board adapter.
From trying this lens on a flat lens board, and talking with Canham it has becom e apparent that a recessed lens board is an absolute requirement (the two standa rds cannot physically be moved close enough together to achieve focus).
Is anyone using this configuration of camera and lens who can offer advice as to how well it works? From a recessed lensboard standpoint I'm wondering if the s tandard Canham lens board setup (Toyo compatible) is a significantly better choi ce since it offers an option for a very-deep (~1 inch) recessed board and more f inger manipulation space than the Linhof boards.
