Shown here is another of my Kennedy Instruments Monobar Type U cameras. This one has the standard bellows, 35mm film magazine, and viewing/focusing tube.

This example of a Kennedy Instruments Monobar Type U 35mm view camera was designed to accommodate Nikon F-mount cameras. Most were supplied with interchangeable 35mm film magazines. I've modified a...
4x5 Deardorff Special (2), 5x7 Deardorff (1), 8x10 Deardorff (1), Linhof Master Technika (1), 4x5 Linhof Bi Kardan (2), 5x7 Linhof Bi Kardan (1).
Thanks, Bob. Are the usual six-digit catalog numbers inapplicable?
Can anyone identify by Linhof six-digit catalog number the Linhof tripod and head shown in the accompanying image?

I'm looking for an exploded view of the Linhof Cinematic II fluid pan/tilt head, Linhof catalog number 003654.
My 35mm transparency of Jack Deardorff, made on a Naperville Camera Club tour of the L. F. Deardorff & Sons factory in Chicago 13 September 1980, is of poor quality, but I thought it might interest...
My Deardorff V8 camera and 165mm Super-Angulon lens.

In September 1986 I was in St. Anthony, Newfoundland, on my way to Labrador with my Deardorff 4x5 Special and Deardorff 8x10 cameras. I’d set up both the 4x5 and 8x10 when rain and blustery winds...
My eyesight is getting worse. As you suggest, it's a IIf, not a IIIf. Thanks for setting me straight.
I've just found a Schneider-Kreuznach Center Filter IIIf. Can anyone tell me for which lens(es) it's intended?
Thanks for your suggestions, Bob. I'll query these retailers. OmegaBrandess has already replied. "We do not stock Linhof parts here, we special order them directly from Linhof. If they no longer...
True, but I have a variety of 77mm hardware that I'd like to use, so each 'setup' wouldn't be permanent. The setscrew idea is good, but I'm not keen to drill and tap and otherwise deface Linhof gear...
I have the adapter you describe, but it doesn't provide the kind of resistance to rotational forces that the clamp provides. I guess I could have S. K. Grimes produce an adapter.
I'd like to use Linhof heads having a 77mm diameter base on Linhof tripods with a clamp for heads having a 90mm diameter base. Linhof used to offer a 90mm to 77mm reducing ring (catalog #003752) for...
I've got a current Linhof Technika recessed lens board for Copal 0 shutter. The flange to which the shutter is fastened is secured to the lens board with four small Phillips head screws. Can anyone...
I've got a Master Technika, serial #6481061, that I've owned since 1981. A Kardan Bi that I acquired in 2017 has serial #3621#81, with the fifth digit unreadable because an accessory screw was...
Thanks for the links. I found Polypropylene and Polyester (mostly clear) sleeves at those websites, not the frosted Mylar sleeves for which I'm looking. Mylar, of the kind used for drafting with...
Decades ago I mail-ordered a quantity of matte finish Mylar sleeves for storing my black & white 4x5-inch and 8x10-inch sheet film negatives, placing these sleeves in archival envelopes. My supply...
