[LargeFormat] 300mm/f:4.5 Xenar mounting question

[Ole Tjugen]

Good soulution - but in my case the lens mounting flange is wider than the 
lensboard by a significant amount... Even to mount a similar barrel lens on a 
"small" technika lensboard you would have to drill such a big hole in it that 
I doubt it could hold its own weight, much less the lens.

It is a tight fit on the 14x14cm lensboard on the 5x7" Technika III too...
