Frank....I LOVE MY SINAR F2!!!
It is far from being a "cold souless beast"....it has done a variety of jobs, been on two continents, all over the USA, fallen several times, been yelled at...
Sinar F2...the F1 or the F's front standard will drive you nuts. The A1's 18 inch rail will drive you nuts shooting architecture...and it feels quite flimsy anyway. The F2 weighs in at 6 pounds...
Yes the seneca takes "modern" 5x7 film holders.....I have one.

Paris shooting advice.....

Mark...that is very interesting....now I have to dig out the article (I believe it was in PDN in 2000 or 2001) that was written in warning to photographers about the copyright of architectural...
The only person who can prevent you from publishing (notice I said publishing...if you can view it from the street...it is legal to shoot it...after photgraphing two architecture books....the legal...

Bob.....I hate to say it but you are wrong....
In the 1965 Linhof catalog.....it is clearly there.... It is pictured on a Technika 70 and it states that it allows usage of the 4x5/9x12 format in...
This topic did go way off base.....and all it seemed to prove is how short minded some people are.
If we were to use the logic that "the biggest killings of this century were perpetrated by men...
I have seen actual cameras and literature from the Model III era that shows the "red" finish Technika. The actual cameras I have seen are 6x9 models....yet a web search turns up one fellow somewhere...
I could have sworn on TV I saw a view camera in the "photo pit"....but it went by so fast I couldn't tell.
Guess I was right.....would love to know who was using it.
Thanks Bob....I guess it will be one of those topics that will always be shrouded in mystery....but thanks for giving me an answer anyway.
Bob....do you know the story behind the red leather Technika Model III's??? Was this optional on all models (6x9/4x5/5x7) and was there ever any other colors besides red/black on the Model III and...
Thanks everyone for all of the responses.....I am gathering from Ole and Bob S. responses that the Tech III/IV/V 5x7 board is in fact the same???
Also...Bob what year did Linhof cease manufacture...
Hello Everyone,
I am pondering purchasing a Linhof 5x7 Technika....but have a few questions regarding lens boards.
On the Model III camera...does the 5x7 utilize the same boards as the 4x5 Tech...
if this helps the discussion- lighter fluid is not butane it is naptha. Disposable lighters use butane...what you buy in the store to fill a zippo is naptha. Naptha dries really fast....that is why...
Contact Mr. Bob Salomon....at HP marketing....it should be a standard part. In fact SK GRIMES will tell you that. If they don't have it....then it is time to send it to SK GRIMES.

As Donald said....the larger image circle of the 72mm XL often comes in handy when shooting architecture.
I shoot architecture for a living and also for pleasure.....and when you are at the point...
What makes a great photograph??? One that moves the viewer.....
In 50 minutes....about all you can say without confusion.....is that what makes a photograph great is conveying whatever feeling...
Rosco makes a whole line of diffusion material for tungstun lights for photo/film and stage use. You can pick them up online at B&H and probably other places if you do a search. They are very...
The schneiders from the 70's (and later) actually say "multicoated" or "MC" if they are multicoated....also if the lens is multicoated it reflects several colors on the glass. A single coated lens...

Have you tried this site......http://www.fiberq.com/cam/.....very detailed about 1880-1930 american wood cameras....

Tim....I want my holders back.....
Wayne....I hope it was sarcasm that made you post that link.....
Mistake number one: Removing the GG back from your Sinar so it doesn't get accidentally "smashed" while being joseled around in your 1968 Buick Sportwagon.
Driving five miles, getting out,...
This camera.....wouldn't happen to be sitting in the back of Le Grand Format in Paris......would it???

store the shutter on "8" NOT "B"....this sounds wrong but it is straight from a sinar repairman...also do not coil the cables for storage....just a light bend or store them...
For working at home a G4 is all you really need....and they can be bought LOADED for under a $1000...I bought mine used off of EBAY and it arrived fine and is used for Photo and Graphic Design work....
The sinar only requires a recessed board for lenses below 58mm.
Stick with Sinar brand lensboards...the are machined to a higher tolerance than other brands....

What film are you looking to have made??? You can get EPR in 5x7, and as the above states it is cheaper to by 13x18 E100VS and buy holders than have 2050 sheets made.
