1946 or 47 Technika lll.

I think someone recovered it.
LInhof uses 4 rectangular shims mounted on a small screw to adjust position of the focus plane. Are those the shims you mentioned? If not, someone was tampering. Those...

That number is for a 1963 Super Technika IV but your picture is a III or possibly a wartime camera.

This is ridiculous. You can leave it on the lens all the time and eliminate many of your steps. It is no more difficult to clean it then to clean the front of your lens. It adds minimal weight. It...

Much better to use the center filter. Plus it saves a lot of computer time!

Look up Linhof Aero Technika 5” roll backs. These things take 50’ of 5” (120mm) NATO spooled roll film or 60’ if it is ester base film. They would mount to any Technika 4 or later body but will not...

I remember a motorized sheet film back that I think was called Wolf. Don’t know if it’s the same one. It wasn’t around very long.

When we got married back in ‘63 I was in the USAF and we found a feral cat living underneath our apartment. Beautiful black cat, pregnant and mean as hell.
We brought her inside and tried to tame...

The Wista RF comes with a Tri lobed cam installed. No cam to buy for the lenses. It’s crammed for.
Hand held macro might not be common on 45 but movements and the use of macro is common for most 45...

For just 3 lenses, no movements, no macro, etc.. and the back takes just 3 sheets of film! Progress?

This guy is under the delusion that a single window RF/viewfinder is unique.
He might be a designer but he doesn’t know what has been available for decades in main stream 45 rangefinder 45 cameras...

Your first line describes the Wista RF.

Drew, the manufacturers state that the cf goes directly on the lens. If you want to do things the wrong way feel free. But don’t tell others to follow bad advice.

Filters should never be mounted between a lens and a cf. the center filter belongs directly on the lens. Unless you don’t want the cf to have the proper effect.

Not listed must be after 1980.

1967 or 68

Wista RF, Linhof Master Technika Classic, Graphic press cameras. All ave lots or some movements and accept a large range of lenses and all can do macro.

Too old. Have no pre war records.

A regular sheet film holder holds 2 sheets of film. This back holds 3. How much more practical is that? Especially if you bracket!

“... refocus through a ground glass. This allows for incredible speed and versatility never before available to 4x5 photographers.“

This has been a feature of LInhof Super Technika for well more...

Perhaps not, we sold cameras and lenses to “super studios” back then that did catalog photography in super market sized studios. Many switched from process lenses like Apo Ronan’s, Nikons and...

Hello Bob,

Happy New Year! Do you have date info for a Technika III s/n 54269? It's kitted with a '54 Angulon,

Thanks,

1956. And happy new year to you also.

Rodenstock made a series of 150, 210 and 300mm Geronar lenses and a 90mm Geronar-WA as basic student, budget lenses, as an option to Sironar N MM and Apo Sironar N, S and W lenses and Grandagon N M C...

That is the mounting plate, might be the wrong grip for your plate. You can check with Bob Watkins at Precision in CA or Rim at Nippon in NYC.

We probably do know each other though I represented...

Yes. One for the left side that comes with the cable release and the mounting plate that replaces the hand strap. The mounting plate was available in three different versions for 23, 45 and 57...

As you know, depth of field is greatest the wider the lens. However, what you might not realize is that depth of focus, the area the film must lie within to be in sharp focus behind the lens, is very...

It was a wide field process lens. Optimized at f22.

Shouldn’t be with the correct board. Definitely is with the wrong board.

+1!!

If you don’t set the lens up correctly for the camera you use then you shouldn’t complain when your way doesn’t work properly.
Get an older, pre Comfort Version board if you have to and let the...

You do have the lens mounted on the correct 001015 recessed lens board?

And find away to keep from losing that actuator shaft that can fall,off doing this.

Just order the LInhof cable release tip which screws on to the end of your cable release and then that tips fits and locks directly into the Cable Release Quick Socket on your lens board. Or, you...

Then you should contact the factory and make the suggestion. However, in the almost 50 years that I worked with the factory I only saw this happen a couple of times and both were on our very heavily...

See posts 9 and 16 in this thread.

Because there is only one sharp point and depth of field increases what appears to be sharp. Depending on the amount of enlargement and the print viewing distance.
Tilts/swings extends that sharp...

Tilts control the plane of sharpness. Apertures control the DOF. 2 different things that work together.

Most of the operation of the current MT cameras are the same as your IV, other then how to do a front rise, the amount of movements and lens cramming instructions and how to install a fresnel.
Go to...

Or you could just buy a couple of step up rings and use the 86mm filters on all the lenses and just have to carry one set of filters, yes, they are more expensive then the smaller sizes but should be...
