There is no problem in fitting an Imagon 250mm lens to a Sinar board, and there is also a Imagon 120mm lens which can be fitted onto a #1 shutter for use with Linhof Technika board (both 2x3 and 4x5)...

1. With little practice focusing with back frame is not that difficult, especially with bonus of tilt and shift. I use progressive means by slightly locking sides that are in focus before working on...

Linhof had recommended that lenses having focal length shorter than 75mm have to focus with the wide angle adapter inside the camera housing. However, I found this quite cumbersome, I finally...

I use Horseman 6x loupe on GG. The edge of the loupe is it is longer than other loupes such that you can use on Technika camera with light shield on.

Variable degree, IMHO the best soft effect is turning the variable aperture until the white halo just unobservable. Besides, there will be interesting bokeh with the variable aperture.

Yeh, with a ground glass you get accurate focus but at the cost of mobility as well as a roll of film for every shot. With a rangefinder and with Fuji NPZ, I can take snapshot with T617.
