Just a litle extra information for reference

The F1 is a cut down F2 its not the case that the F2 is a development of the F1.

The Sinar code from 1988 has the following note for the F2 10x8

In line with my theory that a picture paints a thousand words ...or in other words some dodgy but illustrative pics


Norma Clamp note the insert is slightly different to the later ones.

Service manual for the F


Spare parts list 2009

If you managed to take it apart I presume you don't mind trying to fix it yourself, those links shhould help you identify the part number.

The harder thing is probably making up a suitable release cable is you do not have that with it ?

If you need the ops manual I'll try and get round to doing a scan this weekend.

If you could tell us the lens and camera combination ?

If you are using a wide angle say like the Nikon 150mm Sw f8 that has a 95mm thread you will want to go to a larger filter size. If you are...

You can also use the film plane metering probes from the Sinar system with non metering backs or other makes of camera if you have the metering cassettes it is less ideal but perfectly useable.

Apparently I'm a bad person

Anyway the four extra images for above that I could not put in one post

I have a 360 Symar S but have not used this lens yet as I got it ridiculously cheap in dbm mount and it needed cleaning. I do also have a Sinaron 360mm F6.8 the naming gets a bit odd on these but its...

What you ideally need are four of Formatholder 4206 leastwise that is how Jobo intended sheet film to be processed in these tanks.

The specail bearers are more robust for use with 10x8, the 10x8 back wieghs signifigantly more than the 5x4 one. Another difference is the detents / markings are set up for 10x8. The front standard...

Hi


If you pm me your email I can send you a couple of manuals that I've found online before, I'd happily post the links however one site is down and I can't find where on earth the bookmark is...

I don't understand why anyone one with a Sinar would use a darkcloth ....definately go buy your self the binocular viewer.

Service manual can be found here

I'm sure I've seen that cheaper but can't find a link to any of the usual suspects at the moment.

I was going to suggest look at their price for the Kodiak kit however




I must admit I...

you can use a 47XL on a flat board on a F with the standard wide bellows although wide bellows 2 reportedly make life easier.

Many will say stay away from them but if you truly want a camera that can do everything don't dismiss the idea of a monorail system camera.

If you are inclined towards something vintage you might...

Go grab yourself a copy of the service manual.

Hello Jodie

May we ask which dealer sold you the camera?

Perhaps you would now like to start a thread in the classifieds section? where no offense but at that price I would expect it not to sell for months.

I don't know about in 10X8 but this thread about a Shen Hao 5X4 may be of interest to you.

Hello Andre

Unfortunately using a P2 10X8 back isn't possible on the Sinar Norma as the frame size is different.

The attachment size for the P and Norma is the same but substantially larger for...

47mm SA XL
65mm F4 Nikon SW
90mm F5.6 SA db mounted
150mm Sinaron WS (80 degree one)

420mm Apo Ronar F9

Thats what tends to get lugged around with the...

Originally Bag bellows 2 was intended for where people wanted to use a 65mm db mounted lens with the Sinar shutter, I'm sure it would make life easier with the shorter focal lengths and I see to...

It is possible to use the standard bag bellows even with a 47mm XL.

I like Mrcad however Peter Walnes has two bag bellows listed at the moment one for £29 and the other for £35.

Hello Jon, did you mean a 240mm Rodenstock apo sironar-s ?

I wouldn't know the value offhand however that lens has an image circle of 372mm according to the comparison chart on the home page.
