New Autofocus 4x5"

[europanorama]

Back in the 90s a rich guy in Germany patented a modular AF view camera system that took backs from 23 to 11x14. Electronics were mostly within the rail system. They exhibited at Photokina one year but never produced anything other then a prototype and a couple of beautiful brochures. But the backer also owned a salmon farm in Sweden or Norway and featured all you could eat smoked salmon, if they knew you at their booth.
A friend of mine who had been export manager of both Rollei and later LInhof was hired to be export manager for this new camera system.
I hope this new design has a better future then this older camera had.

Had nothing to do with Sinar. The marketing manager came from Linhof. They also had nothing to do with it.

...the all you can eat smoked salmon sounds great - but you really should also bring on the bagels (cut in half and fried in butter till golden brown), cream cheese, thinly sliced red onions and tomatoes, capers, and beer...then you'd truly have a feast!
