sadly I'm quite uneducated in this area of photography. I've seen images of the Schneider super angulon f8 and it looks close. Would it be fair to say that they are similar or the same?
Thanks

say, someon has said that there should be some sort of 'washer' or spacer between the back 'section', but when I bought mine there was none.
There is an outside thread (for the "nut" which tightens the lens board) and an inside thread (for the back section) but that's all I've ever seen.

I don't think there is supposed to be a washer. The two pins (one circled red) hold it away from the lens board. I've seen them like that before anyway.
The "pin" is actually a small screw that you'll need to remove when mounting the lens on a board that doesn't have the corresponding hole.
(Tape that tiny screw to the inside of the lens case/box somewhere -- assuming you have one -- so you don't lose it.)
yes, I know, I've already unscrewed it and taped to that linhof board. I now use a Toho which has a round board and no hole ;-)

Round board!? That sounds like fun.
Coincidentally I have just recently purchased the same lens -- a Fujinon SW 1:8/90 -- and it's ... gee, I dunno, haven't used it yet. Let us know how yours goes!

Sure
I've had it for about 4 or so years. I quite like it, but it definitely performs better when stopped down to 11 or less. For example, this image
is from a '1/2 sheet' exposure, the other 'pano' looks good too. It seems to be uniformly sharp from edge to edge, however the scan I have is made by a bureau at 1600dpi. I'm not sure of their scanner, but anyway it does not quite do justice to the image. Its a few meg (like 18 as a JPG), but let me know and I'll send you a JPG if you're interested.
I keep thinking a Nikkor SW80 would be nicer ... but then I look at the price again.
