Hello all!
New to this forum. And a little new to LF photography. I just had a question I just purchased my first field camera after using a calumet monorail for 5 years. A wista rittreck. I have used a friend of mines many times and love it, extremely bright glass sturdy, light in comparison to what i am use to carrying just an all around great camera in my opinion so i am very excited. However these cameras take a non typical sized lensboard meaning i have to get one specially made (unless someone knows where to get one?) I have been in contact with SK and they have told me that i will need to get a lensboard adapter as this is my first real experience with purchasing parts for a field camera i do not know what this is? It seems to me like they take a normal lensboard and than mount 2 or 4 pieces of metal on the back that will be caught by the normal catching mechanism but you will still have a say 5x5 board on the front of theses notches? Does anyone have any experience with these? Thanks for your help!
