Hi,
This is my first post, so be gentle....
I've just moved up to large format after many years of 35mm and medium format. I bought a Tachihara 4x5 field camera, which came with a Fujinon 180mm f5.6 in a copal 0 shutter. I'm slowly getting the hang of the movements and what they do, but I have a question, which may well be very simple.
On the front standard, there is a brass rail with three lugs on it. The bottom of the lensboard slides behind these lugs and is then fastened at the top. However, I've noticed that the centre lug protrudes so far over the lens board that it fouls the lower of the two iris indicators, effectively stopping the iris from closing down past f32. Is this a known issue with these cameras?
Thanks in advance,
Stuart
