Clone lensboards for linhof technika (again)

<p>I decided to buy clone lensboards instead of originals for my technika V. I`m a student and I just can`t afford paying about 700€ for lensboards...<br /> What "brand" do you think are the best fitting clone lensboards for a technika V.<br /> I would need (recessed?) lensboards for 75mm 90mm 120mm 150mm 240mm. For my Schneider Super Angulon 90mm 5.6 (copal 1) the only one i could find so far is this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/17mm-Recessed-Lens-Board-Copal-1-Linhof-Technika-/120705868079<br /> Thank you!</p>

<p>The only "brand" that propely fits is Linhof. All the others will be a compromise of one sort or another. Go look for some used Linhof boards if you can't afford new ones.<br>

You need the 001015 recessed board for 75 to 150mm lenses per Linhof. Depending on which 240 board you have you may need a "z" type Linhof board in order for the board to mount and lock on the camera.</p>

<p>I have a Linhof Technikardan which uses the same boards as the Technika V. Four of my lenses are mounted on Linhof boards and two are on Toya-View boards. The Toya boards are not as snug as the Linhof boards: there is a slight bit of play - ie they wobble very slightly. However, I have had no problems with light leaks or unsharp images from the lenses on the Toyo boards.<br>

As Bob pointed out used Linhof boards are common on ebay and if you look around can be reasonably priced. I have been gradually replacing my Toyos with genuine Linhof boards, probably more for the name than anything else.<br>

<p>" they fit as well as Linhof."<br>

No, the also fit but they do not fit as well as modern Linhof boards.</p>
