Title: Shimming an Alpa body to H2 mount back
Post by: MNG on July 31, 2012, 11:03:52 pm

Hi everyone, I am wanting to shim my Alpa Max body to my digital back in a H2 adaptor fitting.

Do any Alpa users using H1/2 mounts have any experience? i.e. which thickness shims do you recommend to begin testing with.

I have looked at the videos on the Alpa site on how to do this.

Thank you.
Michael

The process is the same : you begin with the thickest ones (open the mount normally there are already several of them inside aside the extra ones).
