I've been doing some research lately on these and have some questions for those of you that have used it. (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produc...r_Angulon.html)
What I'm wanting to do is use these on a standard Technika board interchangeably between a couple of different cameras. I have read somewhere that the mount fits into a standard Copal #3 hole. Is this true? If so, all I need to do is buy it and put it into a #3 board then?
I want to use my 58XL on my Linhof MT without the WA Focusing Device (too big/bulky for one or two lenses IMO) with appropriate helical. Right now I am using the 58XL simply by focusing it with my hands on the inside track, but that's an inelegant solution. I think if I get my MT modified to have full drop I can use the 47XL too.
I know there is a specific Linhof board/helical that you can buy for these lenses but it appears to be almost 3x the cost of just the helical, so if I can put it on a lens board myself, I would rather save my cash. There is also those Chinese-made helicals but they are centered instead of offset, so that doesn't work.
Any thoughts?
