Hi all. I bought a 300mm lens which I originally intended to use with my Chamonix, but then decided to use it on a 5x7. I bought a lens board that fits the camera fine and fits the Copal 3 shutter BUT isn't thick enough. There's too much play and the retaining ring is about 2mm from the board. Everything is screwed as tightly as I can get it. Is there a usual way to solve this? Are there shims that are easily available on the web? What do I search for? Could I use a cut up piece of a yoga mat instead?
Sorry for all the newb-type questions, but everything I know about LF I learned by doing or from here.
