All:

I am stumped. I previously posted regarding a recessed lens board for the 65mm lens. I tried a Chinese copy of the Linhof 1015 recessed lensboard. Even with a flex adapter I couldn't get the lens to trigger since it was a really tight fit into the recess.

In my prior post someone suggested just using a flat lens board and looking at the Ebony website for instructions on how to focus a 65mm lens.

I looked at the pictures on their website, but for the life of me I couldn't understand how to proceed. I have an Ebony wide angle bellows which theoretically should allow me to focus the lens. When I mount it, I have to raise both the front and rear standards to get close to focus. But I still can't quite get true focus. The Ebony catalog mentions tilting the front standard and rear standard but from their photos I can't tell what is tilted, in what direction any tilt occurs and by how much.

Any helpful suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
