Hi there,

Any comment / experience on the following recessed lensboard for super speed graphic?
What's the shortest focal length can I used with it?

Thanks.

Seems to me that this question should have been placed in the Speed Help section.
A recessed board for a View I or II will barely accomidate a copal 0 shutter or equivlent size shutter. A recessed for a SUPER or Speed/Crown Would Be Hard Pressed to accomidate a Copal 00, even then a shutter release cable would not fit and one would have difficulity attaching a flash sync cord to the shutters contacts if at all.
Using a standard lensboard a 90mm is about as wide as you can use on a Super and still use rail focusing.
