Technika with 617 back

[Nioukie]

Hello

First of all, I want to apologize my english is very bad cause I'm writing from Paris

For a specific work, I need 617 pictures.

My first intention was to rent a fuji 617 or the Linhof Technorama 617. But here, in Paris, I can only find a fuji or Widepan with 90mm lens, and I need at least 105mm

So I'm looking for an other option.

A friend of mine accepts to give me a Linhof Technika with various lenses.

My question is : would it be possible to use the Technika with a 617 back, a rollfilm for example would allow me to use 120 films ?

What could you recommend to use the Technika for panoramic pictures ?

Does the Technika present difficulties for a newbie (sure it does !)

All the best, and thanks for this great forum

Why not rent the Fuji with the 90mm and crop the image down to 105mm? Not much data/image lost.

Thanks for the idea.
I thought about that but don't you think there is also a difference in the angle of view ? I think I would not give the same picture, and I'm afraid of a sort of perspective distorsion with this 90mm
all the best

Hello

And what do you think about using the Schneider's lenses (a friend of mine can lend me a few lenses he used for his Technika 4*5) with a 617 body (Gaoersi or DaYi)

Would all the lenses fit the 617 body ?
Is there a risk of vignetting ?

Thanks

You can't use a 105mm with a Linhof Technorama but the current Linhof Technorama 617 SIII accepts a 72, 90, 110, 180 or a 250mm lens. The first 3; the 72, 90 and 110mm can be used either with or without the shift board for the 617 S III.
