    Re: Linhof 5x7 lens

    I'm thinking it's a later lens mounted in an older shutter, the front diameter is 8cm on the Symmar S another Schneider 210 I have is only 5cm and looks a lot older. Maybe the later will not fit.

    Re: Linhof 5x7 lens

    I believe it to be a Super Tech V.
    I have a 210mm f5.6 Symmar S on it, quiet old I should think as the shutter speeds are 1/50th, 1/100th etc.
    I can't get it to align with the aperture in the rails...

    Re: Which 5x7 for my first LF camera?

    Well if you see a Plaubel 5x7 monorail going, Grab it. Every bit as well engineered as a Linhof but often a fraction of the price. Just make sure the back takes standard DDS. Plaubel will still sell...

    I particularly like this one if the bottom yellow is cropped.
    I do like it as is. With the yellow cropped off I find it a restful abstract, two pictures in one.
