Yesterday I purchased a ever-so-slightly used Linhoff Master Technika 4x5 which came with two lenses.... a 210mm Caltar II-N and a 150mm f5.6 Rodenstock Symnar. The 150mm is mounted on a deeply recessed Linhoff board (Copal 0).
Question is: What is the purpose of mounting a 150mm on a recessed board?
This board makes accessing or even seeing the lens settings very difficult for sure, and necessitates the use of Linhoff cable releases only due to the offset. I hope to replace this board with a flat board... but being new to LR cameras, want to be sure I'm not loosing something useful. This camera to be used explicitely for architectural, and landscapes...
Answer/Advice much appreciated!
