Hi there,
I just received a new lens that I bought off ebay recently, and it came on what appears to be a Toyo View lens board, although it is of linhof dimensions. I'd like to install the lens on a different lens board but, for the first time, I am faced with a lens that appears to have a mounting flange (had to google the term) instead of a retaining ring. I'm wondering if it 's still possible to mount this on a different board? Can I safely get it out of this mounting flange and use a regular lens board + retaining ring instead? (I suppose I'll have to acquire a Compur #1 retaining ring).
The fact that there is no retaining ring makes me think that perhaps this mounting flange is threaded? But then if the lens is screwed directly in the flange, it's certainly tight, and I didn't want to try to force it at the risk of breaking anything.
Any help would be appreciated, I've attached 2 pics of the lens + board
