Thank you, Bob.
Thanks, Bob. Does that mean the the 6 digit serial numbers were reset to zero (or some other lower number) after Linhof started using C? Because I have seen the 6 digit serial number after C is...
Thanks, Bob.
Does that mean the camera with the serial number starting with C was manufactured later than the one starting with B although the number following C is smaller than the number...
In the past few years I have seen following 3 types of Linhof serial numbers:
B552xxx
C541xxx
6445xxx
What is the significance of the first letter/number that prefixes the last 6 digits: "B",...
Hi Lia,
You are correct, we have not officially met in a while - not officially scheduled the meetups on the Meetup calendar, but I know the LF members have met with each other without scheduling...
Hi Lia,
There is an LF meetup group in the Bay Area. Considering the current Coronavirus situation, hopefully the LF group will be able meet in the next few months and you will be able to meet...
Hi,
Does anyone know Linhof Master Technika serial numbers manufactured in or after 2000, 2005, 2010, 2015, 2020, etc.?
I have seen the following patterns:
Bnnnnnn, e.g. B521123, B551123,...
Thank you, Len, Richard, Bob and Drew, for the additional information.
Thank you so much, Richard, for testing your 300mm lens on MT 2000.
Willie, Drew, Bob, Bryan, thank you for the the information.
Bryan, yes you are right, my question was about using a smaller...
Thanks, Alan, for the info.
I would still like to hear from the users of 300mm lens on MT.
Hi,
I'm looking for hands-on experience of using a non-Tele 300mm lens (Nikkor M, APO Ronar, Fuji C) on a Linhof Master Technika V, 2000 or 3000. I was informed by Bob S (thanks Bob!) that MT 2000...
Thank you, Neil, Thomas and Emmanuel.
The bracket I had used to work fine but over last few months it got worse. It had similar problem few years ago and had sent it to Bob Watkins to get it...
Hi,
I thought I should ask before I try to figure out how to fix the following problem:
I have an Arca Swiss bracket/rail clamp that is supposed to securely hold the monorail and prevent it...
Hi Vaughn,
I have sent you a couple of emails few days ago. Please check your junk/spam folder if you have not seen them.
Thanks.

Vaughn, we are delighted to have you as a group member. The distance does not matter.
Thank you for your offer for the demo on carbon printing. I will send you a message through the meetup group....
This sounds great, Vaughn.
We have a large format meetup group in the Bay Area:

I have posted the link to this thread under Discussions for some cross...
That is a sad news. I have bought some film and gear from them, but it was a while ago. I had received very professional service from the people there.
Great work Austin.
Thanks for the clarification.
Thanks. In what ways 11000XL better than V850?
What scanner options did you find at $3K that have better scanning capabilities (e.g. better resolution, better noise control, better in scanning darker areas, etc.) than Epson V850? Thanks.
Schneider APO Digitar 120mm f/5.6. I will not call it tiny, but it is small. It is the sharpest lens I have owned - proven by my non-scientific testing, the MTF charts and confirmed by the Schneider...
I would buy it for $40-$50 if it had the following features:
- Good accuracy in the lower range - 1 to 5 seconds.
- Finer duration settings in the lower range - 1.3, 1.5, 1.7, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4,...
The digital lenses from Schneider and Rodenstock have amazing MTF curves, but limited ICs. Many years ago when I was doing 6x9 photography, I looked at the Schneider MTF data and found Digitar 120mm...
Hi Andre,
It would be very interesting to see pictures of a scene taken with and without this filter.
Are you planning to use the filter for B&W or color photography?

I have compared late Nikkor 300 M and late APO-Ronar 300 (with blue stripe) lenses side-by-side in a non-scientific test. In my test results I like the Ronar contrast over Nikkor, but the results are...

About Digitar 120mm lens...
The Schneider literature is very conservative and is probably appropriate for the usage of the lens on digital back. For the record, the Digitar does cover 4x5 but...
I used an entry-level Nikon DSLR for long time but got tired of carrying its bulk and weight. I then bought Sekonic L758R which like very much.
There are multiple ways to create masks in PS. Here is a simple option for your situation:
Select the sky or the foreground (since they strongly contrast with each other) with any selection tool and...
When I was doing 6x9 photography, my most used lens was Digitar 120mm – a Schneider digital lens. This is also the sharpest LF lens I have owned, among all the modern (and sharp) Schneider,...
Thanks for keeping the site updated with the latest features offered by the forum s/w.
I sure hope they fix the basic search functionality to allow simple boolean operations (AND, OR, NOT) and...
You can insert multiple rectangular filters in the Lee filter holder slots. Also, one of the less-known features of the Lee filter holder is that it attaches to the lens using a circular Lee adapter...
Hi,
I had also evalulated the pros and cons of Arca Swiss compendium hood vs. Lee hood and went with the Lee system:
One of the (overlooked) advantages of the Lee hood is that it is very easy and...
I was fortunate to have the latest version of 300mm Nikkor M and the latest version of 300mm APO-Ronar (blue ring, Copal mounted). I did a non-scientific lens test using a lens resolution target and...
Terrific!

First a correction: I meant I use a KR3 warming filter, not a KR1.3. There is no KR1.3 filter, there exists a KR1.5 warming filter, but its effect is too mild, only slightly warmer than an UV or a...
I use KR1.3 warming filter to shoot in the shadows, especially at high elevations, to minimize the blue/purple cast on the transparency film.

I work (on a daily basis) with our engineering team based in Chennai, the capital and the largest city in Tamil Nadu. I visit them few times a year. Incidentally, I will be in Chennai for the first...
If you are going to use the lens on a 4x5 camera, I would highly recommend the latest version of the 300mm APO-Ronar lens.
I have done some controlled, but non-scientific, testing with Nikkor M...
