Lensboard Adapters allow easy interchange of lenses from one camera to another
A popular method for exchanging lenses between different brands of View Camera is to fit all the lenses to a small, standard lensboard, such as the Linhof Technika then use a "receiver board" which allows another camera to accept them.
Some of these are available directly from the manufacturer, but we can make practically any kind.
 |
These adapters use existing factory or custom lensboards with parts added to make a convenient, light tight arrangement Featured left is Horseman to Arca adapter |
| A two point (in some cases, three point) mount with a sliding clamp at the top (or sides) makes a firm fit of the small board to the large one. Featured right is a Sinar to Cambo Adapter |
|
 |
Small dimensions make the design suitable for many recessed board applications. This one allows a recessed Arca-Swiss board to accept a Technika/Wista type board |

We also now fabricate lensboard adapters for Kodak Master View Cameras
|
Standard Price: $135.00 each; you supply the lensboards. In applications where material needs to be attached to the parent board, price is $200.00 each. For special cases, please contact us for a current quote.
