Linhof Super Technika III v5

One last question. I got a Linhof Universalsucher-Technika (black version with distance scale on either side and horizontal distance selection wheel on the back) viewfinder with the camera. I...
Thanks to everyone who replied with all the great information.
I ended up buying a Technika III v5 made in 1956 (I believe) that was in great condition from the family of a retired photographer....
Why specifically?
Assuming I find a III with whatever matched cam/lenses I feel like I will likely use, is there any other reason to go with a IV or V? I know front tilt doesn't exist on the III,...
I have lately been looking around for a 4x5 camera with a rangefinder that will allow for portable (potentially handheld) portraits and thought I had settled on trying to save up for a Master...
Thanks for all the replies. It seems pretty much like I expected, that it does not seem like it would work. Good to know without wasting the film.
The idea was to have them be exactly the same is that I could overlay them and have them be perfectly registered. Even if I shot them from opposite sides of the holder in quick succession there would...
So this may be a silly question, but has anyone shot 2 sheets of film in the same side of the holder? What were your results?
I had the idea to try and load some Delta 100 and Ektar 100 in the...
Absolutely agree. One of my favorites. The reason I started this thread was that my No. 33 I often use with my Series D Graflex is one of my favorite portrait lenses, so much so that I have been...
Thanks for all the help. I assumed that it would require more than just screwing in, but Im glad I now know that for sure. Looks like its time to see which one of these options will work best and...
I know the Ilex and Kodak Ilex are not interchangeable. I was wondering more if I would be able to simply screw the No. 36 directly into a Kodak Ilex #5 myself without needing any modification or if...
I don't know. I thought the same thing. I did not have the 12" No.36 Anastigmat to compare it directly to at the time, but the Ektar looked very different to me than my No.33 Anastigmat that I have...
A quick follow up question. I know that some Ilex shutters, at least #5's, were made specifically for Kodak and that they were threaded and/or measured different than the non-kodak versions. If I get...
@Ari what size compound was it? Im hoping to use something with flash sync, but depending knowing all my options would be good.
@Bernice I actually had the 12" 4.5 Ektar in an Ilex #5 and sold it...
@BrianShaw thanks. I came across them when I was looking into a BeTax #5 that SK Grimes recommended. I will send them an email and see if they happen to know which one will fit properly.
I was curious if anyone has ever had one of these lenses mounted in a shutter. I have been looking for one forever since I love how my No. 33 Anastigmat looks and finally found a very nice deal on...
Yeah I read through the whole manual and watched all the videos I could find to try to figure out what could be wrong and walk them through issue. They couldn't figure out and ended up returning it....
I had an L-358 that I recently sold. I tested before I shipped and everything worked fine. Now that it has arrived, the buyer is unable to get it to switch modes out of aperture priority. Holding the...
In not on the west coast, and now I develop most of my work myself, but here in the DC area I have always found Chrome Labs to do a great job. When I was in NYC I loved LTI Lightside. Not sure of...
Talk about apples and oranges...
Nikon F2 Pro's: Small and easily portable, especially compared to a 4x5 monorail camera. Learning curve should not be that steep since you already use a Nikon...

FWIW I have not had any of these issues with mine, however I probably shoot far less often than many other people on here.
I have an 8x10 Stenopeika holder and love it. When ordering you can order "true" size or "film" size. I opted for "true" 8x10 so I wouldn't have to cut plates and it works beautifully.
I get quite nice results with my RB Series D and either a Kodak No.33 Anastigmat 7 1/2" (190mm) lens or Dallmeyer 8" Pentac with both film and collodion, but that is working within what I know the...
A Graflex Super D would work for wet plate. One advantage that it will have is that as opposed to most view cameras, it is an SLR which will allow to see exactly what you are shooting as you shoot it...
In my experience, almost any camera can be used to make wet plates, even a 35mm camera, though obviously the resulting images will be tiny. I personally started a few years ago shooting 4x5 plates...
Haven't had a ton of luck, so I think I have decided to just build my own. Ive been working on some sketches that will incorporate fixed dividers in the middle to support the camera and extra rail,...
I am looking primarily for storage and vehicle transport. I don't often hike, and have never done so with any of my LF cameras, and even if I did finding one that would accommodate the Legend would...
That doesn't look like a bad option. What size trunk do you use and what do you use to divide up the interior?
I looked around and only saw one previous post on this before, from I believe 2007 and with no replies, so I figured it was worth another shot.
I just purchased a Cambo Legend 8x10 camera, and am...
I currently have it mounted on a wood B&J board with a 65mm opening that it fits perfectly in, but will be moving it to a cambo board to use with a Legend 8x10 I just purchased. The outside diameter...
Thanks all.
I ended up finding a seller on eBay that had one, and who may even be able to drill out a hole for a barrel lens I like to use in the future. The one linked in the first reply was not...
So I have been looking for a Cambo lens board for a copal 3 lens, and cant seem to find one. I do however find a number of combo boards drills with 62mm holes. What shutter would need a 62mm hole? A...
Bought a Fujinon W 360mm 6.3 a little bit ago to use for future 8x10 portrait work since I had been unimpressed so far with the 12" Ektar 4.5 and decided to do a direct comparison.
Turns out the...
Thanks.
Did not get a reply from the email I sent them a few months ago. Might be time to try again.
Also, I was thinking the same thing about needing serious modification in order to work. The...
Does anyone have any experience using Buff modifiers on Speedotron Heads? Specifically 102 heads?
I have both Einstein 640's and Blackline 102 heads, and seeing how I have had the Einsteins for...
Going back to can you ve should you?
Obviously you can, whether you should or not is up to you. I bought a beat up speed graphic a few years ago and used it quite often to shoot handheld. For me I...
