Linhof 617S, HOW!?

**ThePenguin** · 29-Jun-2011, 12:56

Today I bought the Linhof 617s with the 90/5,6 lens. But how do I load the film? Or How do I now when I've reached the first frame, and the next frame?

Stupid question, but I can't get it right!

I got it! It only works when the film is inside the camera, if someone want to know.

And don't change lenses with film in the camera!

I plaid with a Fuji 617 last week ran t rolls thru and it was amazing. Everything is Hyperfocal for focusing. but they have a chart on the 205 lens f10 was 4.5 meters to infifntiy. Long time since I used a range finder, I was just so happy to see the negatives when I got home. I development of the film them in a Patterson Daylight tank id super simple. I lover 120 film.! So much fun.

You can only change lenses with the T617 SIII. And the current version of this camera has a darkslide so you can change lenses with film in the camera.
