Picture 1 looks like Multipurpose Standard pg. 3-10 w/ Bellows Hood Mask 2 pg. 3-11.

191473


Picture 2 is on pg. 3-9, Wide Angle Bellows 2.

Pictures 3 and 4 are a roll film holder that inserts under the ground glass, either a Calumet C2 or equivalent. It is missing its darkslide. Instructions for loading are available on the internet. You might be able to make a darkslide by cutting down a 4x5 darkslide if you can't find the original. It's a very useful item.

Picture 4 is Multipurpose Bellows w/ Bellows Holder attached, both on pg. 3-10.

But there seems to be only one bellows holder. Is that enough?

Edit: I found another photo:

Picture 6 is a Grafmatic film holder

Can a Micromega Quick Focuser be used on the viewfinder?


And for the last one, it's a micro-focuser. But it's usable only in the darkroom, to make a better focusing of the pictures on the enlarger. I don't think that is usable on the screen of a large format camera.

I have no familiarity with Sinars in particular.

Picture 1 is an extra standard, not sure what is attached to it.

Picture 2 is a bag bellows used with short (wideangle) lenses. Pictures 3 and 4 are a roll film holder that inserts under the ground glass, either a Calumet C2 or equivalent. It is missing its darkslide. Instructions for loading are available on the internet. You might be able to make a darkslide by cutting down a 4x5 darkslide if you can't find the original. It's a very useful item.

In the second post, picture 5 might be a compendium shade if it's a bellows, or maybe it's got something to do with lensboards (this is probably Sinar specific). Picture 6 is a Grafmatic film holder, and picture 7 is a grain focuser used for enlarging - you put it on the easel. It's good for that purpose, but not for focusing a view camera; use a loupe, a cast-off 50mm lens, or similar.

Hi.

I'll describe some of the parts, but not all, unfortunately.

The second picture is a bellows to use with wide angle lenses, as the regular bellows has a certain limit that this bellows solves.

The third and for seems to be a polaroid back. Maybe it's written inside which model of film that this may use.

The sixth pictures shows a graflex multi film... I think. If my memory serves well, you can put around 5 films inside and by a pull/push action, the next film can be use. But It's missing the slide that cover the film... And it seems that there's a film inside.

And for the last one, it's a micro-focuser. But it's usable only in the darkroom, to make a better focusing of the pictures on the enlarger. I don't think that is usable on the screen of a large format camera.

Good luck with your new camera!

This. It appears to be a late-model Calumet/Cambo C2N roll film holder, from the shape of the opening looks to be the 6x9cm version. Not usable without a darkslide.

Here's the Sinar Catalog, it's the latest one I'm aware of:

Picture 2 is on pg. 3-9, Wide Angle Bellows 2.
Picture 3 ?
Picture 4 is Multipurpose Bellows w/ Bellows Holder attached, both on pg. 3-10.
Pictures 5 & 6 ?

I've added them to my original posts to make everything clearer. Of course, I still have some questions.

Assuming the seller can't locate the dark slide for the Calumet roll film holder, how hard is it to get or make one that fits?

As to the Grafmatic film holder, now that I've found a second photo, does it not look complete with a dark slide, considering that it has the dark slide ring?

This is luxury, I'd like to have one like this. As Jerry noted, after determining movements you move the curtains to crop the image circle exceding the negative, so you may avoid a lot of flare. Nice accessory !!!

*Sinar F front standard with an adjustable mask shade. Have one and it is very useful as a adjustable lens shade or used for masking off image areas to make multiple images on the same sheet of film. This was a pricy accessory when new.

191473
*Bag bellows used with wide angle lenses. There were two versions, a single pleat and double pleat, the double pleat bag bellows prevents the bellows from collapsing as the bellows is moved with camera movements. The bag bellows has enough bellows draw for a 150mm lens, maybe 210mm at infinity.

*Calumet 120 roll film back, had one, used it once and never again. These do not work very well.

*4x5 bellows with one bellows mask shade holder. The hex rod is missing and if one bellows clip is being used, it would have been used with the bellows rod holder at the bottom of the Sinar F front standard and adjustable lens shade as an adjustable lens shade system.

191492
*4x5 Grafmatic filmholder, holds six sheets of film. They work well if in good working order. They must be properly used, cared for and not abused.

191478
*IMO, best enlarger grain focuser made. Does not work for view camera ground glass. There were two versions, short mirror and long mirror. The long mirror version allows greater viewing angle from the projected enlarger image.

Magne,
Regarding Picture 4, if you acquire another bellows holder and attach it to the opposite end of the bellows, then acquire the set of 3 hex rods (pg. 3-10), you'll be able to also mount other accessories such as the swing-out polarizing filter (pg. 7-3) between the lens and bellows. All 3 rods are useful for different focal length lenses. These things show up on *bay frequently.
