Makina3 #2 by Nokton48, on Flickr
Plaubel advertised the Makinas as "the worlds smallest view camera". Using a Makina in some ways is like that in terms of use.

Standard Makiflex No.2 180 Xenar 6x9 Makina Back Makiflex Cable by Nokton48, on Flickr
This just arrived on our Thanksgiving table, A Makiflex Standard from Team Foto in Germany. Ordered in middle October just now arrived. Comes with Schneider 180mm f4.5 Xenar in barrel, 6x9cm Plaubel Makina Roll Film Back, original Makiflex Cable Release, and Waist Level Viewfinder.
It is good to have two Makiflex Standards at this point. This camera is great for specialty lenses and anything really wide (around 120mm or so).

I guess they were ignoring the ground glass screen for the Hasselblad SWC that could be used before attaching the film back! Looks like a super good fun camera, though - lucky you!Originally Posted by Daniel Unkefer
Thanks chrism,
If you want to go down the Plaubel Makiflex rabbit hole, I have a very very long thread on it over here:

I'm spending most of my time crawling out of rabbit holes these days, rather than exploring them more deeply. But my circumstances are unusual, and I hope will not apply to others here.
Found a neat leaf on today's dog walk:

Peter, outstanding, I especially like the first one.

Thanks, Roger! My first time out with a 'new to me' camera.

What “new to me” camera if you don’t mind me asking?
