Hi all,
I bought some Chinese Linhof board copies to use on my Chamonix. These are the ones with the diagonal cuts on the bottom corners. Currently I only have Chamonix boards, the kind with the rounded bottom corners.
So on the inside of the Chinese boards, the circle lip/lighttrap thing is 1mm higher than on the Chamonix boards. So when I try to put them on the Chamonix, the lip gets in the way of the board seating properly and I can't close the locks on the camera.
I just want to make sure, any Linhof board should fit on the Chamonix, yes? I'm pretty sure these are just defective and the lighttrap is not located properly, and that the boards are defective, not my camera.
The Chamonix boards fit perfectly.
penny wise, pound foolish or something like that...
