Turns out that i didn't have a fresnel. Bought three of eBay and the vignette by is significantly reduced. Thanks for the help, everyone!

I've just ordered 052522 fresnel for the Linhof and will update if this solves the problem

Good question - I have no idea. How do I check?

Yes, I have the fresnel installed

I have a Linhof Super Technika V, two Speed Graphics, and two Linhof Kardans and personal experience is such that the STV is compact, easier and faster to set up, and built like a tank. It is,...

I've recently acquired a Linhof reflex finder for my Kardan and Super Technika and noticed a strong vignette while focusing.

I understand that the vignette won't show up in the final image but...

Alright - thanks!

Hi, sorry to threadjack, but I really cannot find the answer anywhere else in the forum

I recently acquired a Linhof Kardan 45 monorail camera but it did not come with a back with the ground...

No, not really. I emptied the wash, then poured in the developer within 15s.

I'll have to eliminate the wash from my next development run and see if that helps.

Hey, you're the guy I got my Jobo drum and reels from! Thanks a ton, by the way :)

Yes, I kinda intended to rinse the film before putting in developer, but left the water in there for around 2-3...

A couple of shots off the Razzle. I have to say that the image quality is pretty darn good, let down by a rather hazy day and shoddy development. If anyone has any idea why I'm getting these weird...

Thanks, Gordon! I shot it over the weekend while offroading on the Jabal Jais mountains in Ras Al Khaimah (in the United Arab Emirates). Brought the Linhof as well, but the Razzle was brilliant for...

Damn, you are right! I got this confused with another 110B I'm having built by Patrick, which has the 127mm f4.7 Rodie lens!

Time to get shooting!

Sweet. That's sorted that one out then. A shutter release it is then!

Now, on the topic of the 4.7 - 5.6 aperture setting, is it normal that the ring detents don't stop at the 'full' speeds? Mine...

My Razzle just arrived in Dubai, but I'm somewhat stumped over the workings, despite being a LF shooter on a Linhof Super Technika

I've found the cocking lever, as well as the ring to set shutter...

Agreed, the Technikardan is the way to go for wide angle. I'm quite satisfied to get the 75 working on my ST-V, so it looks like a recessed board is the way to go. There are a couple of eBay sellers...

I'm getting mixed feedback from the internet. Some links say that the 001015 board is a 20mm recessed board, others say it's 12mm. I have a 20mm coming in, and I'm fine just parking the front...

Bob, the lens board you mentioned is insanely expensive. I just need something to get my 75mm up and running. I have the wide angle focusing device and the 2x3 lensboards are harder to find than...

Great! If you have one more, I'd be happy to buy one off you. I'm also looking for the lensboard for the 2x3 Linhof in Copal 0, seeing that it would work with the Linhof Wide Angle Focusing Device...

The 12mm? Right, time to get my hands on the correct board - I put in an order for a 20mm recessed board on eBay just to make sure that it would give me enough working space on the rail. The original...

EvaV, I'm really intrigued by the 75mm lens that you have. I just got my hands on a Nikon SW 75mm f4.5 but it's on a flat board. A check online reveals that the 75mm lenses require a 20mm recessed...

Yes, the feedback has been diverse, but it's helped me figure out how to move forward. I've managed to secure 2 boxes of Ilford Multigrade VC RC (100 sheet box) in 8x10 size. I'll be using this for...

Looks like I can get my hands on the standard Ilford RC 8x10 glossy here for the same price I get it from the US off the shelf. Saves me a huge bundle in shipping. Might make a good start while the...

You're right - the Nova Monochrome is for RC and not FB. Thanks for the heads up, you just saved me from a wrong purchase!

@Sandra - you're right. I've bunked the idea of 1000 sheets of RC. Probably a bad idea. I've since switched the idea to using Adorama's FB paper - 250 sheets for just $100 looks like a good starting...

So far, here's what I've been told about RC vs FB.

"See the prints you get from the 1-hour developing lab down the road? That glossy print and how it curls? That's RC glossy. Now go to a gallery...

you hit the nail on the head - the serious work was meant to end up on FB, and the RC was meant for contact printing, to get the hang of printing, and yes, for coming up with a print plan.

I think...

The plan was to use RC for contact prints, FB for the actual prints. I live in Dubai and shipping is generally a b**ch, so I tend to buy my stuff in bulk and get it over and done with. The only...

Oh good, I've got lots of leftover boards that I can use from days when I was building up B-flags :)

I bought the camera used, and they were already installed. not much I can do about that, but I'd rather live with two small pock marks than to not have my lenses set correctly at infinity. Infinity...

I'm a sucker for matte / semi-matte, so that's one variable looked at. The choice now falls between RC and FB, and your point about RC being easier to deal with was one thing I am considering. That...

I got two sets of infinity stops and they are pretty much spot on. The one for the 150mm is around 1mm closer to the GG than infinity shows (based on me trying to focus on a subject around 1 mile...

Right - RC papers are harder to work with? Why do you say that? I have no experience with either, and FB looks to be the more expensive one

I was thinking of picking up a bulk box of 1000 sheets...

Hi Bob - thanks for the quick reply!

I have the folding focusing hood and yes, there is a DOF table in there. The problem starts when I have no idea where the bed is when I want focus to be at...

Rodinal, one of the developers that cannot be shipped, and not available here in Dubai. I really need to get to reading up on how to push the development process as well :)

I can't speak for the technical aspects of her work, but the images have a wonderfully gritty and contrasty look about them that bring out the subject well.

I'd love to know how she got it to look...

I've been shooting with a Linhof ST V for over 2 months and love the process and the output (scratched film aside). I've recently acquired an Omega D5500 enlarger with Ilford Multigrade 500 head,...

Does anyone know where I can get a set of Linhof scales for the 90mm f8 Schneider Super Angulon MC and the Nikon 150mm f5.6 lenses for use on a Linhof Super Technika V? I've tried contacting Linhof...

The 4x5 lens should vignette a lot less than the 6x9 version, I should think. I've just got an interesting offer for a 75mm nikon and it looks good. lensboard is the wrong size but I have ordered...

The 72 is legendary. I'm afraid to try it, cos I know I will end up wanting one :)

Getting my hands on a 75 for the time being. My H4D is still my primary camera, but the Linhof does give things a...
