I bought a recessed lens board for my 75mm lens, because I wasn't sure if it would be able to infinity focus on my new toyo field with the fixed bellows. Put it on the board, everything seemed fine...and then I put it on the linhof to toyo adapter
Is there any kind of threaded release adapter that could likely get in there? I think I'm gonna do some testing with a flat lens board to see if I can make that work, because this doesn't seem promising
Why not just get a recessed Toyo field camera board and use that directly, rather than mounting the lens indirectly via Technika board plus adapter? You'll have more room to work with.
You aren't screwed yet. You might try this adapter.
It could be screwed into the lens rather than into the quick-set on the board. (the quick-set might have to be removed. there are two screws on the back of the board holding it on. put tape over the little holes left)
Just a guess but if that is a Nikkor 75mm the Flange Focal distance is 81.3mm and if your camera is a Toyo 45CF its minimum Flange Focal distance is 80mm for the flat board. Maybe you can just use the flat board.
It is the Nikkor, and my camera is the 45A. The numbers do suggest that I could probably make it work, so I'm gonna try focusing on something far away with the flat lens board before I go buying more bits and pieces. I'm not sure if it'll make movements difficult/impossible to scrunch it up that much though

That adapter won’t solve the problem. Just buy a Gepe wide angle cable release extension. It has a very short nipple so it can easily squeeze into the socket without forcing or strain.
What Bob said. The shorter Gepe is what I have. I had to unpack my outfit to check it.
No, that does not have a short nipple and it is braided, it can not get into the same tight area as the Gepe without applying strain.
