I wanted to share this images showing my speed/ektar/linhof project.
The linhof front standard brings fine movements for an extremely subtle image shape correction at f:2,5
I will like to include a nice range finder, I will much appreciate if you have some suggestions.
Hope you enjoy this update.
Kind regards,
Miguel
Photos coming soon !
Nice machine Miguel.. fotoman.com has stopped making cameras of sept.09 but still has accessories for sale like,, rangefinders, levels, viewfinders,,etc.Quote:

Ian, great job!
How did you make the new front standard?
How does the front standard fold(?), disassemble to fold?
What keeps the lens board frame in place when you raise/drop it?
Thanks,
Michael
Michael, I had a local joiner/cabinet makers fabricate a new frnt standard from oak, the way the standard sits when it's detached governs it's maximum width & height.Quote:

I'm still missing some brass parts but someone is making them for me, there's a plate to go on the left of the front standard which is slotted so that a brass knob tightens the lens panel in position for rise & fall. I uses a bit of twig for the photos :D

Thanks Ian! That's a front standard design I haven't seen before.
