Dirk,
You didn't engineered a working rangefinder solution for the first camera, did you?
BTW, very nice (and apparently well made) cameras,
Cheers,
Renato

can you show a picture of your camera?
The camera technically isn't LF according to the forum rules but you can see/read about it here and see some photos I've made, mostly with the 38mm XL.

The condition is nowhere near as bad as many cameras I've fully restored, unfortunately it's at or near the bottom of my growing list at the moment. I've ten sets of bellows to make before this gets near the top.
About 3 or 4 years ago I acquired a Houghton Quarter plate "King" enlarger, a lot of brass strips holding the bellow in place, far better used for replacement parts for vintage cameras, One strip will be enough for the boroken strut.

nice! the wood - it doesn't look to be mahogany? Walnut? or? it "flames"... never seen that before on a Gandolfi

My Linhof Technika II 13x18, 1937, just polished and cleaned. Bellows just fixed, but a new bellows would not be wrong...
13x18 film holders just arrived from ebay, so the camera can go out for first photos...

This is more - "Show off - could have been mine - large format camera"!

This is one of the early - as well built as an other maker's camera - extra special Lancaster 1/2 plate cameras from Lancaster, who are mostly known for good, but economic, cameras.
You will have to check out the later photos to see the magnitude and beauty of the brass fittings.
Completely undervalued, but I have too many cameras already!
That flame pattern is quite odd as it's definitely nothing to do with the wood grain, it's also more pronounced on the base and some of the back as well. It has to be the French polish because on the base it crosses the panels perfectly, and some of the panels are at 90º to each other. It's probably ageing I don't think it's been done deliberately. It's mahogany.

Nice camera.

The first time I saw one was at a camera fair last month it was very reasonably priced, at first glance I thought it was an MPP then realised it was larger. The MPP Micro Technical MkI to MKIII cameras look like the 9cx12 Linhof Technika II (which they were based on). Another member of this forum bought the 13x18 Plate/Film holders (they can take either film or glass plates.
