I just purchased a Sinar/Technika adapter lens board from a local photo retailer. For background, this is an original Sinar brand board. On opening the package and checking it out, I noticed that the steel strip that the sliding lock is attached to does not sit flat on the board. It angles away from the underlying lens board at a slight angle, likely around 15 degrees or so from dead flat. I tested the board with a Technika board I had lying about, and it seems to retain it well. Is this normal? I've tried searching for information on this, but have not been able to find anything that shows this. Do I have a defective or damaged board?
Thanks,
Ed
