I just got a 6x9 Technika III. The focusing cam matches the serial numbers of the camera and the three lenses it came with. The Zeiss-Opton Tessar 105mm f/3.5 in a Synchro-Compur shutter looks clean and fires at all shutter speeds, although 1 second and probably others are not accurate. The 180mm f/5.5 Schneider-Kreuznach Tele-Xenar (similar shutter) has what's probably fungus in it, fires well on bulb and from 1/2 to 1/250, but won't cock at 1/500 and doesn't finish the exposure on 1 sec. The 65mm f/6.8 Schneider-Kreuznach Angulon, also in a Linhof Synchro-Compur, won't cock at 1/500 or 1/250 and takes several seconds at the 1 sec setting. From the reading I've done, I'm happy to have three cammed lenses. I'm wondering about having the shutters serviced/repaired and what can be done about the fungus in the one lens.
Any other information about these lenses is appreciated. Thanks.
