Just registered here and I'm very new to LF. However, I ran across some Linhof gear and I'm cramming trying to learn how to work with it. I have a two Linhofs. One is a 5x7, and I don't plan on using that one. The camera I plan to use is a Linhof Technika III version V. It has a 150mm cam that matches the camera. The lens that was on it is a vintage Voightlander Braunschweig Heliar 4.5 15cm Compur. I have a couple of books I've been reading and I've been looking around the internet. But there are a few things I'm confused about, like, how far to pull the bellows out for a particular lens. And, can I put different lenses on without changing the cam, as long as I use the ground glass to focus, and not use the rangefinder? And how do you know how far to pull the bellows out for a given lens? Like I said, I'm new at this but haven't found a clear answer to these questions. Please be gentle. Thank you.
