View Full Version : Sinar mystery rear standard
Can anyone help me identify this Sinar rear standard? Photos are attached. This standard does not have the normal tilt function as the regular P rear standards do.
Some have told me this is the rear standard for a Sinar C, but it is my understanding that the Sinar C is comprised of a normal P rear standard and a normal F front standard.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

I think this was the special version they made for portraits, where rear movements would not be needed.

No.
This is definitely in the P series. The F series had two vertical posts instead of the single one in the P designs.

It's a different 8x10 P standard, not the usual ones you see.
From glennview.com:
"8X10 P/C/F Special Standard bearer , from 1986 Sinar catalog.........."Sinar part number 433.52, Special Standard bearer Sinar P2/C2, Heavy duty bearer for 8X10 coupling frame". This "optimized for 8X10" standard bearer has 100 degrees of swing and 80 degrees of tilt, 70mm rise, 10mm fall, 2 bubble levels and geared focus with depth of field scale."
Except, I don't think that description is entirely correct, because it doesn't have any tilt, does it?
The "special 8x10 bearer" is reinforced and a bit lower than the regular 4x5, but I don't remember any other difference - it may have had more restricted movements, but it doubtlessly had tilt.
The generally advertised purpose for the non-tilting bearer seems to have been for copy cameras. But as the few used ones I've seen were from dealers specializing in government surplus, a more relevant purpose might have been dumbed-down P versions for police mugshots, where movements weren't needed and quick-change slide backs put an extra load on the rear standards.

There are markings for angles on the side of the dovetail. I know that doesn't mean it has tilts but.

The scale is there, because its easier and cheaper then to put a special one there! Without knobs and mechanism there is nothing possible and it just shows fixed, just have an really good look!

By the way I have booth the standard P bearer and the strong P bearer for 8x10 and it is non of this two!!!!!

It probably can tilt at the base rail joint, as that is nothing they could save weight or cost on - it very obviously cannot do the geared in-plane tilt of a regular P standard.
