Ok, I did it again: buying before asking ...
I have bought this lens and now realize the flangeback is 73.4mm (Ebony lens table; I found the link on this forum).
It was meant to be used on a Shen-Hao TZ45-IIA. According to the Badgergraphic site, the bellows extension should be 75-340mm (looking at the TZ45-IIB, the A isn't listed anymore).
I think it should be possible to fix this with a recessed lensboard, right ??? I have a recessed lensboard, but it's only 1cm deep, so that will not do. Are there more recessed lensboards in existence ? I guess I should have one with a recession of 1.5mm ? UPDATE: I've found something on eBay: http://cgi.ebay.com/19mm-Recessed-Lens-Board-Linhof-Technika-Copal-/400185315321?pt=AU_B_I_Electrical_Test_Equipment&hash=item5d2ce74ff9. These should work, right ?
On top of that, I tried to mount the lens in the recessed lensboard. The mounting hole is decentered.
Please have a look at the picture: The lens has the aperture lever at the bottom while the cocking lever is at the top. Because of this, when mounting the lens, the aperture can not be fully opened, because the aperture lever hits the "wall" at the bottom. If I turn it in such a way that the aperture lever can be operated, the preview lever is partially blocked ...
Is it possible to take off the ring that controls the aperture and mount it the other way around ? If it only involves releasing the three little screws (please see picture) I think it might not be too difficult ?

Thanks for all your help,
