Question about lens boards and Copal 3 shutters

[StuartR]

P.S. I took a caliper to the lensboards I have, and the Toyo is about 1.7mm thick in the main part of the board, but uses planed metal to take it to 2mm at three points across the lens board. The Ebony board I have is simply flat, but 2mm across the whole surface, which would explain why it fits a bit better in the Chamonix adapter.

Look for a recent review of Linhof-type lensboards on this forum. I believe a conclusion was that Luland boards were good quality and not expensive. I believe thickness was measured also.

I remember the discussion, that is why I bought an adapter from 8x10 Sinar to 4x5 to use on my Intrepid 8x10. It did not work. The Lulands did not work on my Intrepid adapter 8x10 to 4x5 either.

Then your Adapter may be off. I bought some and do recommend them.
