I'm trying to mount two lenses 1. Schneider APO SYMMAR f5.5 120mm (Copal 0) and a Schneider SUPER-ANGULON f5.6 65mm (Copal 0) on my new Chamonix lens boards. However, there is a small screw on the back of the shutter that interferes with the lensboard so it doesn't sit flush with the back of the shutter. It's not one of the three screws that fixes the barrel in the shutter.
Both these lenses had been fixed in helical focusing mounts...perhaps it's a locator screw for the mount?!
Can anyone tell me what this screw is for? Can I remove it so the lens board sits flat?
I don't want to touch it until I know what I'm breaking :rolleyes:
I vaguely remember reading something about this a couple of years ago but I can't find anything on it at the moment.
