Linhof Tech V and Nikon 500T?

[Mike Lewis]

Is it possible to use a Nikkor 500T lens on a Linhof Technika V at infinity? The specs for the lens indicate that the required bellows draw would be just within what the Tech V can do, but I'd like to know for sure. I'd be especially interested in feedback from anyone who has this combination. Thanks.

Not without an extension set like the Wista one.

I use a 500T on my Tech IV, no problem. If you look at the posting I made for the lens shade, you will see the lens on my camera in one of the photos.

I also have used the 500T on a Tech IV without any extension devices. If the bellows extension is the same I don’t see why it wouldn’t work.

I also have a IV and have used a 400T. While the 500T will focus, it is really racked out near the camera's limit. I decided that being able to focus a little closer with the 400 more than made up for the slightly tighter crop of the 500.

Thanks everyone for the feedback. Guess I'll start looking for a 400mm tele lens.
