Avis sur le produitShen Hao Copal #0 Center Hole Lens Board For Linhof Technika IV Wista 4x5 Camera

Better than Luland!

At two different times, I ordered a Luland Copal #0 center hole Technika-compatible for my 90mm and 75mm lenses on my Chamonix 4x5" camera. My bad but with the pandemic, I never got around to mounting the lenses on the boards. Well, when I finally tried, the Luland boards did NOT fit properly onto the front standard of the Chamonix. They a-l-m-o-s-t fit but the large 3D ring on the back did not properly fit the large hole in the camera's front standard like it was supposed to. The board was tipped just slightly forward due to the ill fit which meant the locks could not fully hold onto the board.
Wait? What????

So, of course, I contacted Luland. their response? Well, it SHOULD fit. Well, duh, yes. it should! I examined the boards closely and measured them too. Did Luland want to know where the problem was? No. Thanks.
Wait? What???

Knowing if one of my beautiful expensive lenses fell to the ground and got damaged or broken, most likely they would not pay for repair or replacement, I knew I had to find another board supplier. I knew other large format photographers were using Shen Hao cameras and praised them for their quality so I looked for a Shen Hao Copal #0 center hole lens board. I found them here on eBay. Good news, they were not in China, they were in Kentucky which meant I would have to wait only a few days, not a month or two! Yes, the cost was a few dollars more, but to be honest, that really didn't matter at this point, I wanted something that worked.

Not being a fool (once burned, twice smart) I ordered one to test. It arrived here in Atlanta in TWO days! Wow! Now for the big test... how did it fit into my Chamonix? Perfectly. Well, of course, I'm about to order the second one as soon as I publish this review. And any time I need another lens board, you KNOW where I'm going first? Yup, Shen Hao.

A customer for life.

Shenhao

The lens board is perfect as I recently bought a used Sinar that had a Nikon 150 mm lens but all my other lenses are on the Shenhao boards so this one was a perfect fit. I use a reduction lens board on my Sinar and my Horseman view cameras this way I don’t have to change my lenses every time I want to use a different camera.Lire l'avis complet...

Just what I needed

It fits exactly on my Japanese made camera, and I was able to use it with my old 5 inch Ilex lens yesterday with excellent results. Thanks for supplying this so quick, and at a nice price. RR

Great product

Well made product. Mounting hole for #0 Copal shutter was accurately placed and correctly sized.

Lens board works well!

No issues noticed so far. Fit a Schneider Super-Angulon 90mm f8 lens with Copal 0 shutter just fine. The board fit a Shen Hao 4x5 snuggly too.

lens board

It's just what I needed to mount the lens to my Tachihara 4x4 field camera.

Simple and well made

These replicas of Linhof Technica lensboards – a common standard with many large format cameras – are well-made and fit properly.
