Greetings again,
This may sound like a strange question but... here goes!
Is there a "proper" way to mount a lens onto a Dorrf 6x6, wooden,lens board?
Reason I'm asking is because, unlike a flat, one level Sinar board, there are two elevations when you look at the Dorff board straight down from the back. In other words, there's a lip that's approximately 1/4" surrounding the smaller inside board. (Kind of looks like a double mat used in picture framing. Easiest way to describe this.
Regarding the example I have (with a 183 Protar mounted - no shutter)... when you look at the board from the back side... the opening on the top "layer" is 2 inches in diameter. The opening in the second "layer" is just large enough to allow the rear of the lens to poke through.
Is it okay to simply drill the opening directly through the board and mount the lens just like the Sinar board? The lens is a big, heavy 360 Symmar f6.8 chunk of glass.
[BTW, the board in question is a wooden 6x6 rounded corner board for the 8x10 field camera.]
Thanks in advance for you input.
Cheers
