    a nice camera. so minimalist and delicate. is it an in-house construction, a combination of existing Linhof components with new made parts?

    just stunningly elegant in its simplicity...would love to have you turn this around to show us the back.

    also...any issues with vibrations?

    Most of the parts are stock pieces by companies like SmallRig designed to film makers building out cinema cameras and then standard Arca Swiss rails for focusing—a 400mm rail and then two 200mm rails attached for a total extension of ~780mm. The middle of the standards are black anodized 2020 t-slot. I simply cut the walnut to the size of a Sinar board and then use a Sinar to Linhof adapter for the majority of my lenses since the Linhof boards are so much smaller.

    Plenty of vibrations on the tripod above which is certainly undersized! I think vibrations won't be a problem, but the field test is on Wednesday (with my sturdier tripod, of course)!



    Here's the back. I have the thickest feeler gauge from McMcaster Carr for springs painted black, but I need to replace a couple springs because I bent them in the wrong place initially, but they do work as it. They're just not a pretty.

    The whole wood portion of the back comes off from the four thumb screws and can be reattached to the t-slot frame in vertical orientation.

    Back is equally stunning! Wild guess on weight - between 9 and 10lbs?

    That's pretty close! I came in at 11lbs.

    Pressing the shutter is the only easy thing

    That's a very handsome camera in a nice setting from what I can see in the background. Looks like the camera has a lot of movements and enough metal etc to lock up well. I imagine it is a lot of fun!

    Latest acquisition. A Szabad 12x16 (5x7) in the later black series.
    Serial #1499. There were only just over 1500 Szabad cameras in all made so this is a very late one. Probably manufactured in Stockholm 1961-1962.
    The earlier "red series" was obviously inspired from the Eastman 2D but with a bit more movements. The "black series" is something completely different with a few nice design solutions.
    Extension is 600 mm and the extension is internal (no extra extension rails to carry around). The whole back standard and rail slides out backwards when extended.
    Itīs more like a tailboard camera with the rail bed folding up to the back standard too. I think it's a rather clever design.
    The tripod plate can slide under the rails to balance the camera and locks when tightened.
    Full movements in front and tilt and swing on the back. It also has a double rise and fall in front.
    Filmback can rotate from landscape to portrait.
    Very solidly built in aluminum, steel and wood (mahogany?). Weight just over 5 kg. Probably intended for studio use so low weight wasn't an issue one can assume.

    Condition is very good except for the bellows that needs to be replaced.
    Otherwise just a bit of cleaning, adjusting and waxing is needed.

    Very happy, yes!
