Hi all - hoping you'll be able to offer some advice to a relative newcomer trying to figure out best way to focus a 75mm lens on a master technika.
I'm having an issue with the drop bed getting in the way. To achieve inifity focus, I get the drop bed in the image when folded out flat, so following Linhof's instructions I've tried to lower the drop bed a notch and then tilt the lens back, while using a few cranks of rise to get everything level again.
While this solves the 'drop bed in the image' problem, it takes the lens too far away from the GG to allow me to focus on infinity! I have tried sliding the bed rail backwards into the camera body, but that doesn't seem to go quite far enough. For info, I've got the lens mounted in a 19mm recessed lens board, and given this camera is supposed to work with lenses down to 72mm without extra gadgets, I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong! Any thoughts greatly appreciated. Thanks,
