I am new to LF. I have bought an old calumet with an assortment of accessories. It came with a scneider angulon 90mm mounted to a flat board. The camera came with several other boards, many undrilled. I have had good success with the 90m m, indoors at close focusing distances. Today I went out in the cold but found that I could not focus to infinity. I am assuming I need to use the recessed le ns board for this. Could somebody confirm my supicions please.

What reason would the previous owner have had for mounting a wide angle lens on a flat board? if this is indeed the source of my problem. (or was my head/vision/lens frosted by the well below frezzing temps! ha ha)
