Meopta Magnola (someone else...)

[afotandolaciudad]

Hello.
I have a Meopta Magnola (13x18 field camera) but I don't have film holders to use in it.

Does anyone know if they can be found, built at home or change the camera back to accept standard film holders?

Thanks

Maybe Richard Ritter could help you out. I don’t know where you’re posting from, but he has done some good custom work for me and with fair prices.

Its a copy of the Linhoff Technika series of camera's: they use the same kind of plateholders. They use old style single metal holders without a rim, in German they are called Millionenfalz Planfilm Kassetten
I think the Magnola has the 13x18 continental film size, so with this info you best search the German LF forum and/or the German Ebay site.
Rada made these single metal holder too.

Hi,

Obviously it will depend on the meopta being a precise copy of the linhof.

Good luck...:)
