Hey all,
Does the front standard on a 5x7 Technika V allow for it to be locked when a swing movement is applied? If so, is there a mode of operation for doing such that I'm not getting? I played around with a camera I'm considering purchasing the other day, but while doing so, I came across this "issue"(if there is one?). It locks fine when not swung(so straight), but when swing is applied, it doesn't seem to lock. Surely Linhof didn't overlook this when they designed this great(albeit heavy) camera?
For you Tech V 5x7/13x18 users, could you post your method of locking the standard down after applying a front swing adjustment? I'm only posting this query because front swing is one of my most used movements, after rise and front tilt.
thx,
Dan
