<Welcome to the new member!
<The Linhof lensboard is likely to be the one like a Wista one size 96x99mm.
<The flange hole is probably the usual one for a size O shutter (I mean the
<size above the tiny shutter used on 65mm Angulons). You might need a
<recessed lens board. This permits the front standard to be brought forward
<by the amount of the recess and reduces the binding effect on the bellows
<caused by compressing it to focus infinity with a 90mm.  I have a couple of
<such panels for sale but you should check that I have given the size that
<fits your Linhof and await the lens and measure the outside diameter of the
<shutter flange ring before buying lens boards unseen. If it would help I
can
<take my 90mm off its 6x9 Linhof panel and measure its flange, assuming all
<90mm Angulons were the same. Philip

My Schneider 90mm Angulon arrived and as Philip cleverly thought Technika
III lens board had different size. A friend of mine, that BTW has more than
14 Leicas and more the 300 different cameras including various Linhof,  have
lent to me a Technika IV flat lens board and I can use new lens in my Linhof
but my question right now is if  I cannot use rising front element movement,
can I? Is it usefull for that the recessed lens board?. I asked this wide
lens for a architectural project where correcting lines is very important so
movement is most convenient. Any help will be welcome and duly acknowledged.
Philip please if you have this recessed lens boar for a Technika IV with a
35mm flange hole please be so kind to let me know in a private email. I'm
forecasting to get a 65mm Schneider for same project with the focusing
device and then it's clear for me that no movement is possible.

Kind regards

Felix
