I recently purchased a Schneider Apo-Tele-Xenar 400 Compact to use with my Linhof Technika V. I already had a Linhof lensboard meant for a Copal #3 shutter, which is used by this lens. However, this lens does not fit into this lensboard-- the lens has a spacer ring which I think is to keep the shutter away from the lensboard a bit, and a collar ring that fits inside the spacer ring. The collar ring is a bit too big for the lensboard hole. My lensboard has a 64mm hole, and the lens' collar ring has an outside diameter of 65mm.
Could someone please educate me on this? The diagram with dimensions on Schneider's website is hard to interpret, and Schneider has not responded to my request for more info. Is a Linhof lensboard available that has a slightly larger hole? It is possible I'm misunderstanding how this lens fits into the lensboard.
Thanks,
