  1. Re: Is the linhof super Technika V ( 1964-1986) 13x18 5x7 extremely rare?

    Yea, I had that 18 x 24 in the back of my mind as I was writing my post. Did it have a rangefinder? You could use the multi-focal view finder for the 4 x 5 / 9 x 12, easily converting to equivalent...
  2. Re: Is the linhof super Technika V ( 1964-1986) 13x18 5x7 extremely rare?

    I think one could make the case that the 5 x 7 Technika with its rangefinder and kitted out with the multi-focal view finder and anatomical grip constitutes the ultimate hand held camera. Well I've...
  3. Re: My first Lens. Symmar-S 6,8 /360 in a Copal 3 shutter. What next?

    I have an older information piece on the Symmar-S, a single sheet, date code 1/77. It also shows an angle of view of 70º at f/22 and an image circle of 491 mm. One thing is it gives the "Engraved"...

    Thank you. I thought that was the American Southwest. I'm partial to subjects like this.

  6. Re: Schneider Tele-Xenar 240mm f5.5 shutter question

    Just for sake of completeness, in later years the No. 0, No. 1 and No. 3 (a late addition to the line) Compurs were labeled Compur 0, Compur 1 or Compur 3. Can't find it explicitly in my literature...
  7. Re: Schneider Tele-Xenar 240mm f5.5 shutter question

    This sounds like a No. 1 (Synchro) Compur. The No. 1 had a top speed of 1/400 and was marked "Synchro Compur", having both M and X synchronization. The No. 2 rim-set Compur had only X...
  8. Re: Where to find information about the manufacturing date for a Zeiss Tessar?

    Re: C. Zeiss Tessar 105/3.5

    My 1957 Linhof catalog shows the 105 mm f/3.5 Tessar for the 2 1/4 x3 1/4 Super Technika. There was also a 150 mm f/4.5 Tessar for the 4 x 5 Super Technika.

    B&H always seems to have an extensive selection of lens caps. If your lens is the same size as my 210 mm Apo-Sironar S it'll take a 75 mm push-on on the front and 65 mm on the rear.
