"It would be a kick in the pants to pour some cocktails and make some images (or do I have the priorities reversed)."
Michael....it sounds like we both have our priorities in the same order!
By...
Well good Michael...I'm glad someone with a familar name got the camera. I was just getting over the big outlay for a 5x7 Super Technika V kit with three lenses and a lot of Linhof accessories. ...
I bid on a 8x10 Linhof Kardan over the past week. I got carried away and bid high but still lost. I suspect that the high bidder will not pay up to the reserve (or would have even paid if the...
Unfortunately, I don't have a scanner to download any photos. However, I feel confident that I have more information on Linhof Select Zeiss lenses than Zeiss themselves. If you have any...
"How about a nice 15 cm f:2.8 Planar or Xenotar? Isn't that supposed to be the "BEST" lens?"
There has never been a 150mm Planar for large format.
#1 is my choice.
Kerry....what about the new Schneider Fine Art 1100mm lens? I know it is quite pricey at $4,395, but it does have an image circle of 900mm. Just a suggestion...JP Mose
Since you will be in GA for six weeks, you may want to travel over to Providence Canyon State Park to see Georgia's Little Grand Canyon. It is beautiful this time of year. Here is some...
For hand held purposes, the subject viewfinder is perfectly fine. The masking is quite accurate and adequate in image size. I have the viewfinder you are describing on my 1966 5x7 Super Technika V...
Brian...get an 80mm or 90mm. I have a Beseler enlarger with the adjust-a-table and a 90mm APO Componon. If you plan on printing 16x16 and crop into the 6x6 image, a 100mm will not provide a large...
David....I agree it really is a weak spot and bought a couple of spares for that reason. Are there any other parts that you could recommend having a spare or two? JP
Jan.....I assume you are referring to a 6x9 Technika III, as you filed it under this catagory. This camera is normally fitted with a 65mm, 100-105mm and 180mm. There is also a 53mm Biogon, which...
My Super Technika V (4x5) had a problem with the upper sliding button being frozen in position. Under the leatherette is a black plastic piece (about 1/2" X 5") which supports the sliding button...
QT...my magazine arrived today. I thought it was great write-up! Good photo of you too. You're a great asset to the world of LF photography!
Thanks for the replys. I will forget what I "thought" was a potential problem and get some nice used ones on Ebay.
Now if I only had more muscle mass to carry the camera around all day!
My 57 Super Technika V set arrived last Saturday from Czech Republic. It is a beauty but of course the holders are 13x18. I don't have any problems with using 13x18 cm film, but the only emulsion...
It will be a sad day when they announce the discontinuation of Rodinal. I use it for 90% of my work. I will be interested in hearing if the R09, available from J&C Photo and Photographers Formulary...
I have this setup with the wide angle focusing device....no problems. You can also opt for a 55mm APO Grandagon as well. That is the shortest focal length I know of without going to a 2000 model.
"The major, if not singular, quality which sheet film brings to the party is a remarkable ability to capture exquisitely fine detail. One often hears law enforcement people on the news lament the...
Bob,
My 13x18/5x7 Super Technika V is about to arrive. It has 6 13x18 Linhof holders, which unfortunataly will not accept 5x7 film (I assume). I will need to start looking for new holders. Will...
Michael,
Make sure you always use a lens shade! This is especially important with a single coated lens. Plus, the reflection of light off the bellows can cause a lot of internal reflections. If...
Everyone I know prefers B&W except for one bimbo who has a lot of money but no taste!
I would avoid overnight mail from B&H Photo. I have done this twice and ended up waiting two-three days because B&H didn't process the order the same day of placement. Call Calumet or somewhere...
Well I guess it is about time I subscribe to this wonderful publication! I know I will become obsessed with collecting every issue. When did "View Camera" start? Are the early issues hard to...
I know you are more interested in the practical applications of LF focal plane shutter use. Others so far have described it quite well. I use my Super D Graflex at the highest speeds possible...
While we are on the subject, how does the older 121mm Super Angulon compare to the lenses discussed above. Was the later 120mm Super Angulon a major improvement? I see many Linhof select 121mm SA...
I have a 135mm Leica Tele Elmar f/4 from around 1990 that isn't multicoated. One would think multicoating would be applied across the board in later years but I guess if there are few air-to-air...
"The Linhof Press was a 6x9cm camera. The Linhof Technika Press was a 45 camera made briefly for the US market with no back movements. Hence "Press""
The 23 version was also called Technika Press....
I asked this question a few months ago:
http://largeformatphotography.info/lfforum/topic/501320.html
I MEANT TO SAY "EDITION" NOT "ADDITION"...I EVEN PROOF READ BEFORE POSTING!
I talked to Marflex and it looks like I can get the mounting flange no problem. The owner of the camera contacted me today with good news....the original optical viewfinder (the type provided in the...
For the record (even though this is a 5 year old thread), my 1975 Super Technika V was purchased NEW and supplied with black leatherette as standard. It is my understanding that in the final 2-3...
Bob,
Do you have any new-old-stock 57 mounting flanges at HP Marketing? Thanks.
JP
I just purchased a Super Technika V (5x7) set from Europe. I haven't received it yet but have been researching my stacks of Linhof data and still come up with a few questions:
1) This camera...
Smoke and mirrors.........
I have bought three purchases from Glenn...two have been misrepresented and overpriced....the third was just overpriced. I don't know how people like him survive in...
Oops...just saw the 4x5 in the title description....sorry.
Is it a 2x3, 4x5 or 5x7? Is it a Technika (no rangefinder) or a Super Technika (with a rangefinder)?
I'm with Brian on this one. By all means the people will get the help they need. Fortunately, there are a lot of animal advocates that have been paying attention since the aftermath of this...
Once again Richard, you have my interest and support. I am looking forward to reading and learning from your wisdom! JP Mose
