Thanks Bob! You are the man.

Greg, all of this actually brings up another question from my perspective.

In regards to the Linhof board that uses the quick release, I am wondering if Bob or anyone else here can confirm a...

Thanks Bob. I will check with Precision Camera in Chicago and compare the pricing and availability and loop back here.

Thanks for the info. I hadn't even thought about that. I will also check with a Linhof service center as Bob mentioned to compare the prices and availability.

Thanks

Yea, I was really surprised at what I found about on the reviews as well, so that is why I made my post here to see if some quality info is passed along based on first-hand experience and not just a...

Good info Bob. Thank you.

I am looking for a smaller 240mm for my Linhof Master Technika and I ran across a Schneider 240mm f/5.5 Tele Arton in a Compur 0 shutter. I am not familiar with this lens, so I thought I would ask...

I have a couple of the Linhof Copal 0 recessed lensboards and one of them has a nifty little flexible connector cable between the cable release connector and the lens. This is so much better than...

No, I had the spacer, and it still rubbed. However, it works now and I am happy...

I have an update.

I installed an extension board on the Fuji-C 450mm and that works great now with plenty of extra room to spare and no stress on the bellows.

So now, that means I have a...

Hi Bob, this was definitely a user error on my part!

I mistakenly put my Fuji-C 300 in the Fuji-C 450 case and vice versa.

I thought I had the 300mm lens mounted, when in fact I had the...

I am a new Linhof Master Technika owner and I am starting the process of learning the camera.

I mounted my Fuji-C 300mm lens and I must be doing something wrong because I have the bellows fully...

Hi Darr, thanks for sharing all of this and I think this is just awesome!!

It would be impossible to agree any more with you. I have gone through a lot of cameras over the years and then I was...

I agree Len. The 6 lbs is not even a remote concern. Modern DSLRs with their heavy glass weigh nearly the same or even more than this setup. Even if that wasn't true, it doesn't matter because...

Yea, no worries. Got it covered.

Very helpful Bob, thank you and Happy Thanksgiving.

It sounds like I have my work cut out for me on the wide angle espeically.

Now I have a much better idea of what I am dealing with, so...

Thanks Len. The Nikkor 360mm has a flange focal distance of 261mm and the 500mm has a 349mm, so in theory the 500 should work, but I wanted to confirm with someone that has first hand experience?
...

I just found a good quality Linhof Mater Technika and it is ordered so I am trying to do three things before its arrival in a few weeks:

1 - Confirm the widest and longest focal lengths that will...

WOW... thanks for sharing the JPG. I just looked at it at full size and wow... I am sold!

I need to print big (40x50, 48x60, etc), so I will need to explore doing multiple exposures and merging...

Thanks, good to know. First-hand info and experience are very helpful.

What format films are you scanning with the S1R and the Sigma 70mm setup?

Also curious how the pixels hold up if...

I found a review on B&H about the Sigma EF mount 70mm lens in the L-mount adapter that is concerning because this user is doing exactly what we are discussing.

Please review and share your...

Hi, thanks for the links and the info.

I really think we are finally at a place where we have the tools and technology that will at least equal drum scans, and arguably possibly even better. ...

Hi Drew, I was wanting some longer focal lengths for my 4x5 camera in a reasonable/smaller size. I have a Linhof Technikardan and the 360 and 500 lenses will definitely work on this camera without...

I am thinking about getting the Nikkor 360/500/720 T lens and I was hoping to see some photos from the group here and any thoughts that you have about this lens and these focal lengths based on your...

Hi Peter, this is very helpful. I have a very good idea of how I will approach this now. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge and I wish you and your family a safe and happy...

Thanks for confirming what my gut was telling me.

I just need to figure out a mechanical and simple method for moving the negative so I can create the high quality multiple exposures. I am open...

Peter, this is fascinating. I appreciate you sharing this.

I am going down a slightly different path with the new Panasonic Lumix S1R that uses pixel shift technology to create a 187MB single...

Hi Peter, I am new to the digital/scanning game, and I didn't realize the things you mentioned.

I appreciate the info and I agree with you that a 1:1 macro lens really isn't needed, especially...

I am currently researching my options for a high resolution digital camera scanner primarily for my 4x5 film, but ocassionally for 8x10 film.

Another user on the forum here suggested that I look...

Is it a difficult task to remove the frames from the old bellows and install them on the new replacement bellows? Tools required?

Any recommendations on a replacement bellows Bob?

Thanks Peter.

I was hoping to find a trustworthy source for a bellows replacement for my Linhof Technikardan?

I want to avoid blinding buying a bellows off of eBay if I can.

If you have a resource that...

Hi, I just picked up an Epson V-750 scanner and I've never had a scanner before because I have always printed in the darkroom.

We are downsizing and it looks like scanning is my option for the...

Thanks Corran, good info.

For my style, I like something a little wider than 90 and so 75 seems to be the sweet spot. I do own a 72XL but assumed it would be too big and bulky to carry with me...

Thanks Willie, good info all the way around!

I am thinking about getting a Linhof Master Technika and I want to identify a good wide angle and longer lenses for this camera.

I need a wide-angle and I was thinking the Nikkor SW 75mm F4.5...

It is funny you mention this Vaughn... I was literally just looking on Amazon at golf range-finders... :)

Bob, when you say, service center, are you talking about the Linhof service center or something else? This really would be an ideal way for me to go with a rangefinder, so I would like to understand...

I would really like to get a Linhof Master Technika with the rangefinder and the cam properly calibrated for a longer lens like a 240 or even a 300 if that is possible. Newbie question. Can you get...
