Super-Angulon 47 XL on Technikardan

[J Maxwell]

Does anyone know whether the Super-Angulon 47mm XL requires a recessed lensboard for use with the Linhof Technikardan? And if so, how many mm? Thanks!

When I used it with the wide-angle bellows and a flat board and wanted to use a
little shift, the standards pinched the bellows, and I had to tug the
bellows upward. I think any amount of recess in the board would
eliminate the problem; certainly 10mm would.

Thanks a million! That's very helpful :)

The factory recommended board for the TK45/45S with this lens is the 001015 Comfort recessed boad. This board is a 12mm recessed board.
For the TK23 series the proper board is the 001147.

As Bob says, and you want to use it with the bag bellows. Even then this is a bit tricky with any significant movements. But at small apertures you will hardly need swing and tilt. Use a tilting loupe though.

Thanks again for the very informative answers. The TK is a great camera, especially with the wa bellows, and I'm looking forward to trying out this lens.

I use a 47xl on my Technikardan 23 with a shallow recessed board and WA bellows with no problem. I also use a 35mm Apo Grandagon (sinaron digital) with a deep recessed board with no problem. I'm using them with a digital back and viewing the 39mp file at 100% I'm totally knocked out at the performance.

Do you notice a big difference between capture methods? And what about differences in the lenses themselves? Do you have a web site with images up? And thanks for the info!:)
