It easily screws into a Copal 1 shutter. It works very well on film and digital on my 23 Technikardan, and also performs nicely on a Cambo Actus.198485

Hopefully this old thread will survive a revival. My Nikon 90mm f/8, purchased about ten years ago, has a shim in the front. Additionally, there was a printed insert in the box, which I have...

Thanks for the help everyone - now it's show and tell time! That Copal 3 makes the Technika lensboard seem very small:)

Thanks for the information Paul. I had read elsewhere that the #3 shutters had reducing adapters to fit the Xenotar's dimensions, but it appears that they modified the lens housing instead, at least...

Hello Peter -

Thanks for the response. I can screw the front and rear sections out, and you're right about the Sironar, it does fit in a No 0. However, this lens is a much meatier Xenotar.

Thank you Joe -

I'm always happy to visit San Antonio - I'll come down this weekend, and check it out. I'll send you a PM.

I just bought a 150mm Xenotar in barrel mount, circa 1979 from the serial number. I was hoping I could drop it into a Compur 2 shutter, and impatiently also bought a relatively inexpensive 240mm...

I agree with Kuzano. My scanner only takes up to 6X9 images, so I needed to take 3 scans from my Fotoman 617 transparencies, and then stitch them in CS3. It was a surprisingly quick and painless...

To add to Dan's post, the series would be f/4.5, f/6.3, f/9, f/12.5, f/18 . . .

Hello Peter -

You are probably right about the image circle. I just looked at my copy of "All about covering power" (probably an older version than yours), and it lists a 95mm Heligon
as having...

"With the Technika 70 also a 45mm lens, Biogon 1:4,5/45mm and Super-Angulon 1:8/45mm, can be used. This lenses where mounted on a recessed lensboard."

A little late, but I wanted to point out a...

Thanks for bringing this up Spencer. I don't know why "view camera" and "medium format" are so firmly considered to be mutually exclusive categories in many people's heads, but I find rollfilm view...

One of the problems I have is the definition of "large format". I primarily use a 23 Linhof Technikardan and a 23 Linhof Technika, with 6x9 rollfilm backs. I also use a a 4x5 Chamonix, but with a...

My Biogon is on a flat board. I have modified the front top of my Expert 70 so that it has a removeable section when using wideangle lenses, analogous to the hinged top on the 23 Technika 5 bodies. ...

Greetings Bert -

I have a 53mm Biogon that I use with an Expert 70 (the Technika 70 sans rangefinder/meter assembly) with no problem. The bed is dropped, and the rail slid back (there is a...

I have a mechanical Prontor Slow Speed shutter release, that releases the shutter between 2-32 seconds. Linhof used to sell these for use in photomacrography applications, but I bought it to use...

I'll be in London for a couple of weeks in June (still a while yet:rolleyes: ), and would be happy to get together with anyone that wants to do some photography.

My home-made cardstock aperture scales:

I recently purchased three 240mm Apo-Ronars, latest blue-ring version, that had been placed in barrel mounts for use in an optical inspection machine. Each of the three had a thin shim behind the...

Impressive article, written and illustrated very clearly - Thank you!

Although I appreciate seeing the images submitted because of Donald Miller's thread, I'm still reminded of Humpty Dumpty's response to Alice: "When I use a word, it means just what I choose it to...

My camera just came, even more elegantly designed and fabricated than I had hoped, and I have all weekend free to play with it. Thank you Hugo!

Well . . . I'm still waiting for mine in Austin, Texas.

Mikkel -
John Brackenbury designed and made a high-speed shutter consisting of a metal plate with a small 3-4mm aperture fitted in front of the lens, and a single pivoting solenoid-driven shutter...

Mine is also still in limbo in San Francisco - I must have offended the shipping gods somehow!

Scott - I'm very jealous. Mine (package #08) just cleared customs on Wednesday. I don't know why they held onto it so long!

In case anyone may be interested, I just tried the EMS tracking number using Safari as a browser, and got an error page; a subsequent attempt with Firefox worked fine.

I use a 90/8 Nikkor SW on a 617 rollfilm camera, and the results continue to astound me (plus this lens has a 235mm image circle).

Greetings Kev -
The screws (3/8" or 1/4") are free, not fixed as on a tripod. It's very quick and easy to secure a camera on the head (no more trouble than screwing the clamp shut on an Arca style...

I agree wholeheartedly with Frank on this - the 3-Way Levelling Head is compact, adjusts quickly, and locks securely. I had one on my eBay watch list for about six months, and was fortunate to grab...

Since this thread is now completely completely off topic, I have no qualms about making the following suggestions: read the book "Cod" by Mark Kurlansky, or watch the movie "Empty Oceans, Empty...

Thanks everyone for your info!

Does anyone know a current source for the Gepe 3.25" flexible cable release extension? After several years of use, I've lost both of the two I had. B&H is out of stock, Midwest doesn't have them on...

This may have been mentioned, but shooting some sheets of E6 that you then have commercially processed could eliminate your B&W developing as a source of the problem.

Thank you Hugo!

Thanks Brian -

That particular shot would have been difficult to get with 4x5, although Linhof at one time made a close-up framing device for use with the Technika, similar to what was used for...

For insect photography, you can get good results very inexpensively with the Pentax 67. I took the attached image of a Questionmark Butterfly several years ago using an older Pentax 67,...

George Shiras, William Finley, and Eliot Porter somehow rose to those technical challenges, and took superb wildlife photos using large format equipment, although I'm sure far less efficiently than...

Four things I really value (but none recently developed) :

1) Linhof viewfinder, to help me quickly see the effect of different lenses and camera positions on image composition, even before...
