The L1200 is an amazing machine. I have one.

Yep, Blazes in TO is the official support for Linhof.

If you want to do it yourself, buy the bellows from Custom Bellows. There was some 'net-lore that they are the OEM manufacturers for the...

hmmm, makes me wonder how the assembly staff did it. Can't imagine them doing it, one ball and one spacer at a time.

You have a laser welder? Wow.
Yes, I was wondering about the viewing hood; I don't often see spares for that, and figured that you'd have to re-make one.

wow, beautiful work. Yes, re-leathering is more work that I anticipated, and urge for perfection is high.

ha ha ha, thanks Emmanuel.

You hit the nail on the head.

It is the thinking that has fueled my buying habits for years. Fortunately, this year, I think I am cured.

And, same principle for...

seems to me that there was a regular advertiser for shipping boxes, archival grade, for prints, in View Camera magazine.

Quick google search turned up this: ...

Looking forward to you bringing this baby back to life

There was another thread on this. I replaced the gear on the lever myself. There is a cover plate on the lever that needs to be removed. On mine, I used a pin spanner. On the IV, it might be...

I had the front gear with two broken teeth.
To remove the gear, you use a pin spanner to remove the cover plate, and then the rest of the disassembly for the gear is obvious.
You must buy the...

yep, washing out all the lubricant will leave you with a shutter that might work, but speeds will all be off. In fact, some functions might not even work, e.g. the T/B functions might not work. ...

he he he, if you need a new home for the 135 Sinaron-S, call me :-)

ohmigod, why hasn't anyone bought this yet? At this price, in a different lifetime, I would have bought it in an instant.

wow, great story. Love your photos.

T* version? Thousands, if you find a buyer. More than $4000, likely even beyond $5K.

Once in a while they show up on ebay.

I know a not-T* version that is selling at a store and it is listed...

um, yeah, I saw that after posting the photos. No, not usually.

The light in the kitchen is the wrong spot and I often find I'm shadowing what I want to see.
I thought the candles would make...

Ha, I'm doing a "Happy Dance" here.

I sorted the shutter.

1. I cleaned out the opening tab mechanism completely, and relubed it.
It still isn't perfect, but it does re-open when I lift the...

Thanks Peter.
None of the behaviours are fatal.
Just curiosities at this point.

Hello all,
I just received a Synchro Compur shutter and noticed the following behaviour. It came with an older 150mm Ysarex lens, and from the serial number, must be early in its production. The...

Tech IV would be fine, but I went to the Tech V, for the lever rise (vs knob) and hoping there are internal mechanical and design improvements beyond the IV.

I had a Master, but it was too much of...

Used to be Marflex that does camming,

Reason that I was worried is because I mounted a 110mm super Symmar XL on my Linhof, and was annoyed that it doesn't close. The lens is too large. I've lost a bit of convenience with the 110mm...

Non-centered

This thread had me worried.
I just tried my 150 APO Sironar-S on my Linhof V with the regular flat lens board.
It closes.
Even with the Rodenstock lens cap on.

whew

I'm curious, why do you choose 135mm over 150mm for 4x5 shooting?

The focal lengths are so close, I don't think there is a significant delta in perspective.

Is it because most 135mm lenses are...

um, wouldn't it be more efficient to take it apart carefully, cleaning what is needed, and then putting it back together?

Got to admit, if you too apart a Leica M (M3, M2, M4), put it in a bag,...

Thank you Bob

Bob, can you tell me the year of manufacture for Super Technika V 2181160?

Thanks
Vick

I thought they would be dots too, but the projected image isn't dots. It looks more like eyebrows or a curved comb.
Or the curved coiled filament of the bulb. But both images are identical, one...

It is the way it came. No modifications done.

Top mounted.

Oh what a blast, the projected rangefinder images work on my Crown Graphic!

Not quite like the red laser sight crosses like in action films, but near enough.

And the images align to the RF. ...

Sure, mine fits in a standard hot shoe, but, the plate on the finder is about 2-1/2 times longer than the hot shoe.
I'd check to see how long the shoe is in the Toyo.

How will you focus the...

Congratulations. I would check out the mechanism and gently lubricate all the joints and movements.

I disagree. There is a whole hobby of making telescope lenses, at home.
It is not easy, but, it is also not rocket science.
Start by researching how to polish telescope lenses, and how to make a...

ha ha, this thread did motivate me to see the other photos. "Teton" seemed to fit right in.

Wow Dan, thanks so much for the brochure. It was very informative.

Yes, my Raptar is marked "Wide Angle"
Thanks for the leads.

Thanks all. My lens came with a Crown Graphic, and with a cam, so I figure it was its 4x5 "normal" lens.
