Thank you very much for judging me!

You think you're very smart, dont' you?

Yes, I do photograph. And I also save money enough to give out for benefit and distance-adopt children. And if I can purchase the same identical item for 10 times less money, I do.

What about you, with your 30+ lenses? That's a HUUUUUGE amount of lenses. A USELESS huge amount of lenses. Do you also find the time to take some picture, or you're all day on eBay to look out for the 31st to mount on your "excellent" fake lensboards? Or do you spend all day undecided wether a specific subject should be framed with a 150mm or 151mm lens? That's make a HUUUUUGE difference, doesnt' it? If you think about it, it really makes sense to have 30 lenses on fake lensboards.

Whenever you want to be judged, just ask: I'll be very glad to judge you.

In the future I would order any more I need from a Chinese maker, their new ones have been much less of a disappointment to me than some of the so called 'mint' genuine boards I have had from sellers in the UK and USA.

Thanks again for your insight, and I agree. I also noticed lately a "high tide" on conditions' description. What is for sale as "good" is mostly "poor" to me, and the "avarage" is plain rubbish.

Also, I see often good prices on KEH but they don't care to put an actual photograph of the item in most cases, so it's almost a blind purchase.

Bye! Marco.

I have a few no name lensboards from china that are too thick for my Chamonix. And a Shen-Hao board fits fine in the Chamonix, but is very tight when used on the Canham with linhof adapter. So I don't think any blanket statements of fitness for purpose can be made. I'm sure all the boards will work on some camera, but it may not be yours. I suggest trying them.

Thank you very much, Larry. You're right, that can also be an issue. In the end there's not much more to do than buy one and see what happens...
