A little late writing here for the timeline.... Is the Durst UNIPLA lensboard the correct lens board for mounting a Schneider Componon-S 300mm f5.6 lens without any additional adaptors onto the...

I've been a bit distracted by water coming through the ceiling around my skylight in my studio - placing multiple plastic crates to catch the rain that is almost horizontal hit on my house with high...

Thanks Dan, Looks like an Ilex no. #5 hole at 85.47mm would fit properly on the most posterior smooth back of the lens width at 84.5mm. I was a bit confused seeing the two flanges - thought perhaps...

I didn't measure the width of the most forward flange thread

You got me, I received it from the seller on Ebay yesterday as such. He said only that the flange was used for a Sinar. I am not familiar with how this lens was intended to set onto the lens board...

Proceeding from end back toward front - furthest back - smooth - 84.5mm width / furthest back thread - 88.1mm width thread / next smooth - 88.9mm width / next thread - 92.868mm width

245456245457

245455 The smooth portion measures 84.9mm ,

Looks like 79.375mm outer threads on rear. The outer lip of the Flange intended for a Sinar is 93.6625mm - where the hole lens board seems to be intended to cup.

Thanks, Dan

I have the 760 Apo Ronar CL barrel lens, mounting flange thread is M90 x 1. As the mounting flange thread is M90 x 1 - will an Ilex no. #5 hole - 85.47mm / 3-inch 3/8" hole on a Linhof Kardan lens...

What are the advantages and disadvantages comparing the Linhof Kardan Bi System to the Linhof Kardan TL? I'm aware of the weight difference for the Kardan Bi System at 8x10 - 18 Lb. versus the Kardan...

Thanks, Wattsie, I have a 4x5 Kardan Master GTL from Austin - restored. Eventually, I will look at restoration by LaFlex Camera for a Super Technika V 5x7. I was posting the question on the merit of...

Are Linhof Ground Glass and Fresnel 5x7 always branded with the Linhof name when actual Linhof official products? Ebay is full of Chinese products and I want to try to avoid the mistake of purchasing...

Thanks!, Tin Can. Yes, in a prior post on a Linhof Head question. Both your Linhof cameras are impressive you have as well as the huge restored Deardorff! As well - I found and purchased quite a bit...

Updated: Received a Linhof Kardan Studiokamera 8x10 from Europe - Knuckle version with smooth tube monorail - 39 1/2 inch (100.33 cm - 1003.3 mm) long monorail - about 1951/1952 or so production. The...

Che Guevara from the upper-story building looks surprised to see your dragon procession.... Looks like a fun day, days. Yours and "The Game of Thrones" dragons met their demise early... I have two...

Hello Bob, Thanks again for your suggestions. The Linhof technical rep in Munich answered back that they have no record in their documents of the tripod head. This correlates with what I was told at...

Your 1920s Deardoff super large format camera posted here - impressive! Have you ever attempted to get a Linhof Gigant stand from the 1950s? There seem to be a number of variations on the Linhof...

Agree, The longevity and practical use are impressive. Running after digital advancements with quickly outdated technology that lacks the equivalent image quality, foreshortening/perspective/angle of...

In good company here! I have an early Linhof prototype knuckle Kardan Color Triplex 8x10 extended length monorail and extended length new bellows and lens compendium bellows manufactured on the...

Fantastic! I tried to purchase that Linhof stand model out of Germany at a LF shop, but they wouldn't sell and ship to the USA... I think the stand version had hidden casters under the legs on the...

I'm just getting back into large format camera, or essentially any camera apart from awful cell phone camera use or the very first version of a digital Cannon - way outdated. I had Linhof camera back...

I have a Linhof Kardan Master GTL 4X5, that possibly would be a match with this head, or my Linhof Kardan Bi System 5x7 extended monorail - maybe might be pushing the weight issue on this camera?

Thank you for your information!, Tin Can. I have four of the Linhof Panorama tilt head II Ø90mm type 2, - and one, soon two of the Linhof tilt head I Ø90mm head type 1. Collecting the tripods and...

On the degraded sticker, below the item/model number are two words - two lines - the first line word ends with (ielst), probably not that helpful. A flashlight 30% across the sticker surface reveals...

Terrific!, I will follow up on your educated view... Thank you!

Hello Bob, Thank you for your suggestion. I think this might be from the period of the Linhof Kardan Color 5x7 & 8x10??? It's worth following up with Lnhof. My experience is that they do not have...

I have purchased an old Linhof Patentkopf III De Luxe Professional Pan Head III 003695 (Maybe 003614) or (003670) the sticker is very degraded. The tripod head needs a stem handle and insertion part...

It was listed at $2,500.00 or a dollar or two less. Then he lowered it to $1999.00 or close to this amount after a while on the posting. I think it might have started somewhere around $3,000.00 /...

Still looking into the Dichroic missing part for the Durst 138 SP 5X7 enlarger w/ CLS1000color head EST1000 ... Also looks like the seller might have taken on another purchaser for the Durst 138 SP...

Yes, I would take Gena Davis wherever she wants, as well as a long trip down the Southwestern Canyon - at least in good company... Still looking into Dichroic missing part for the Durst 138 SP 5X7...

Hello Drew, Actually a shipment from overseas is usually cheaper than a van or car rental to pickup within the USA. A vendor for Linhof restorations mentioned the same as European shipment costs are...

Hello Drew, Thanks again! Sounds like quite an experience on the free enlarger.... Yes, I met Glenn Evans, when I purchased a number of lenses and accessories for the Durst 138 S at his "Louis Henry...

Getting six people willing to help sounds like a major accomplishment... Though I would have a difficult time turning down a free hybrid 138 upper / 184 lower. Glad to hear knees and back are intact....

Thank you, Drew,

Proven knowledge through experience is gold... That sums up exactly what I wanted to know, great! I have time and patience for a little less reliable repeatability with an earlier...

Thanks ic-racer! I'm making sure I know what I'm getting into before a second Durst enlarger is invested with missing parts... A Durst 138 SP 5X7 enlarger w/ CLS1000color head EST1000, but parts seem...

Hello Neil, My photo use is only for potential clients, or students to refer when they have not yet, or are not able to be in my studio, relating to my figurative traditional sculpture work. I'm just...

Thank you, Drew.

For a Durst CLS-1000 color head with EST-1000 - if the Dichroic Filter / Reflector is missing in the unit, is this going to effect the quality of the output? Is there a significant quality...
