greg_prior Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 I have a Technika V, and I noticed that if you grab the lens, it wiggles. There seems to be some play where the lens board seats at the bottom where the two little clips are. The boards are not Linhof brand. One is 'noname', and the other is Wista. The two castings look identical, but with no Wista on the noname version. Has anyone else seen this? Is there a fix? Thanks, Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
william_whitaker1 Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 Greg, It's been my experience that after-market Technika board vary slightly in their dimensions. Some fit better than others. If yours wiggles only slightly and doesn't leak light, then I'd just go ahead and use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom_perkins Posted September 20, 2003 Share Posted September 20, 2003 I have had this problem on the Walker Titan with after market boards. Since there is no place on there to fix it with bailing wire, I ended up putting a line of gaffer's or electrical tape along the top side of the lens board, careful to make sure that it did not allow a light leak. It seems to keep it from floating around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg_prior Posted July 22, 2004 Author Share Posted July 22, 2004 For anyone that reads this thread, I found my own answer. The bottom brackets that hold the board have adjustment screws. They're hard to get to, but you can extend the bellows and tilt the lens to get to them. I may have used an angle screwdriver (it's been some time), but now all my boards fit tight... -Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
