I use vacuum easels. I'm very happy with them. No more troubles with curling paper, adjustment is done with magnetic borders.

Despite the limitations in movements when using wide-angle lenses and the heavy metal camera body, I really like the Linhof Technika IV 6x9. I use the camera with 3 cammed lenses (65-100-180mm), two...
Does anyone know a densitometer produced by Zeiss Jena (also called "aus Jena"), type MD 100?
I'm told it should be a quite professional meter, mostly used in labs for spectrographic processes.
I...
I believe Formatt Filters is still making series 9 filters (www.formatt.co.uk).
The Schneider Symmar 1:5,6/100mm is also a soft-focus portrait lens, when used without the front part. Then it becomes a 1:12/175 (printed in green on the lens) soft-focus lens .
Size 6,5x9 is hard to find in Europe too. It's easier to buy 4x5 film and cut it to 6,5x9 yourself.
Thanks for the info, Bob. I will contact a local Linhof dealer to see what's possible.
Hello,
Does anyone knows if a new Linhof groundglass for the Technikardan 23 also fits in the back of a Super Technika 6x9? My old groundglass is severely damaged, so I am looking for an...
Good forum, decent upgrade.
Happy new year,

I have tried some different types of bulbs, the photocrescenta is one of them (I used them in my old Leica 35mm enlarger). The problem is that the diameter of most lamps is not large enough to...
These 200 or 300 Watt (on 220-230 Volt) bulbs have a E27 thread. The diameter is 110 mm (4 1/4"), because I use the enlarger with old glass plate negatives of 13x18 cm (5x7). It has become almost...
I'm looking for replacement of the opal bulbs in my Durst 139 G. No chance this lamp house (or one of the earlier types) would be produced for this enlarger?
I'm using a Nikon Coolscan 5000 ED for scanning Kadachrome slides. It's a very good scanner (and easy to use in combination with the 50 slide feeder SF-210), but I replaced the original Nikon...
I just checked my Heliopan catalogue: they don't produce color filters in the 112mm format anymore, only UV and conversion filters. When searching long enough, it's not really difficult to find these...
Ok, that's what I'm going to do first.
Thanks for your help, Bob !
Stefaan.
On my camera, there are two points: a black one and a red one. The green point is simply not there, and since the points are engraved, I suppose it has never been there.
I wonder, if someone knew...
Ok, I'm starting to understand... Nevertheless: if all those camera's were built to be coupled with tri-cam disks, how come mine has only two inifinity stops? That's what keeps bothering me.
Since...
Thanks for the quick information, Bob !
I tought that the "B" at the end of the serial number had something to do with the fact that a Zeiss Biogon can be used on the camera (53 mm wide-angle). Were...
Hello, since today I'm the proud owner of a Technika 6x9. The serial number is 82445 B and it came with two lenses, a Symmar 5,6/100 mm and a Tele-Arton 4/180 mm. The serial numbers of the lenses...
