To reduce my pack clutter, I want to put a number of my lenses on linhof boards.The issue is some of my focal lengths are usable on my 8x10 Sinar P.

What I'm looking for is a recommendation of where to buy the adapter board. Ebay is loaded with cheap, possibly flimsy products. If there is a sinar made board, I can't find one!

Chamonix has one but doesn't look like it has the baffle. Might work on a woodie, but will it work on a metal P.

any recommendations here?

Go for an original Sinar or a Horsman adapter for Linhof boards!

Sinar did make a Technika adapter board in the past, I used one in the '80s. I sold mine a few years ago when I got my Technika and stopped using my Sinar. The board was well made and served it's purpose very well.

Send Sinar board to S.K. Grimes and they'll make you one.

Cheers, Steve

Second vote for S.K. Grimes. I bought mine several years ago, I believe before they were so ubiquitous on Ebay.

At the time I cringed at the price but it fits/works perfectly.

Sinar has made them back as far as the Norma (I have a green one) so I'd expect there are a fair number of them in circulation.
