Thread: Plaubel Peco Profia

    Re: Plaubel Peco Profia

    "I ran into this issue when I got my 5x7 Peco Profia from Germany. It came with both a back for the one sided holder as well as the back for double sided holders. The back for the single sided holders is a PR 1/337 and accepts RADA sheet and plate film holders. The term "million rail" ? is used with these holders. I have no idea what that term means or refers to. The standard back with the spring loaded ground glass accepts the double sided holders and is identified by PR 1/333.
    Hope this helps.

    The RADA Plate Catalog.

    The Millionfalz is on page 12 of the catalog and is a "Universal Holder for plates and cut film". Looks pretty elaborate.

    RADA Cutfilm Sheaths on Page 18. 9x12 and 13x18 available. These are used for modern sheet film in the holders.

    Plaubel Makiflex uses the Normalfalz type of holder. I have many RADA, Voigtlander also works, even some from Russia. The plate edges are all the same, that is the biggest difference. And of course the overall dimensions.

    I read somewhere that RADA started out making stamped out metal children's toys. Later they hooked up with Plaubel.

    Thanks Daniel. The RADA system does look rather elaborate. I am glad my Plaubel Peco had the standard back included with it and didn't have to try and modify things for the single holder system.

    6x9 Rollex Restored Compendium Russian Filter 2 by Nokton48, on Flickr

    6x9 Rollex Restored Compendium Russian Filter 1 by Nokton48, on Flickr

    I want to highly recommend the original Linhof Rollex 6x9 Back on the Makiflex. The knobs and the tactile "feeling" of using the equipment combined create a smooth and closely matching sense. And a total "brick house" approach which fits well on the Makiflexes. So I picked up three backs, some extra parts as well. I would like to pick up some 6x6 same Rollex backs but so far none have appeared. Several of the backs needed some work but now all is well. Here is the completed Pecoflex Adapter Back for the Makiflexes. I custom made the bag bellows using one from the Peco Jr View Camera, a lot of brass modeling screws and nuts, Pliobond Cement, and a lot of time spent figuring exactly how best to do it. Essentially this a Peco Jr Front with bag bellows on an Automatic Makiflex. Extreme movements beyond what is necessary in a lightweight package (could be handheld!) are possible. But I use a tripod with this Beast. Going through my box of Plaubel Odds and Ends, I found this Peco Jr Filter Holder, which fits the Compendium Hood/Connecting Rod. I have only one Yellow Green Filter which Is from Russia, I have used teflon tape to attach it to the Filter Holder. So something new and useful for the upcoming SPRING shooting sessions around here

    I use this camera mostly with 4x5" and 9x12cm sheet film and glass plates. That lens is a 240mm chrome Schneider Xenar that looks great on the groundglass. I showed the design to Geoff Berliner and he thought it was a cool idea

    New Plaubel Peco Profia Reflex Viewfinder Repaired by Nokton48, on Flickr

    I got this Plaubel Profia 45 degree Reflex Viewfinder for a low price, I think this is a little later one and it wouldn't fit the above 4x5 back with the amazing Peco Profia holder clamping mechanism. I removed the end part of the finder, and checking my Plaubel parts box, I found two Grey Plaubel bars with central metal pin which simply screws into the wooden body of the reflex viewfinder. Taped it together tightly, then drilled four small holes precisely, then attached tiny brass hobby modeling screws and brass nuts from the hobby shop. Works great like new, it only fits vertically, but I'm OK with that. Glad I found this fun project.

    New Peco Profia 9x12 Plate Back PS1-337 by Nokton48, on Flickr

    I ordered this from a shop in France it was a good price. It is the 9x12cm One Sided Plate Back Plaubel Peco Profia PS1/337. As it turns out it fits my RADA, VOIGTLANDER, and a couple other manufactured plate Normalfalz type holders. I have been using them a lot with J Lane Dry Plates and Ilford 9x12cm Commercial Ortho, in my Plaubel Makiflexes. Like these so very useful to have this

    Will do a quick focus test target next

    I saw that listing and wondered how good it would work.
    I guess it must be pretty sweet!

    Re: Plaubel Peco Profia

    I will be testing it soon and will post here. I already have a collection of the correct plate holders so I am suspecting it work will work well.

    Peco Profia 4x5 Graflock Sliding Back TTL Metering Lunasix by Nokton48, on Flickr

    This Peco Profia 4x5 Graflock Sliding Back arrived from Germany recently. There is a 4x5 Graphmatic in the camera ready to go. The lens is a chrome Schneider 240mm Symmar in Compur shutter. The TTL Plaubel Profia Meter uses the Lunasix to Read TTL on the ground glass, which is the way I prefer. I need to calibrate the meter, compensating for viewing system light loss. I have two interchangeable black discs which read tiny and teeny tiny parts of the glass. The eyepiece enables you to see everything sharply as you meter.

    Those of you out there with Plaubel Peco Profias might like this original literature from 1970. Enjoy!

    Plaubel Makina Rail Sliding Roll Back Peco Profia GX680 Mag Hood Hack by Nokton48, on Flickr

    This Back takes Plaubel Makina Rail Roll Backs and Plaubel Makina Plate Holders. I wanted a better viewfinder system, I finally came across this Fuji GX680 Magnifying Hood, and I wondered what I would do with it, it dosen't really go with my Makiflexes. So here it is adapted with some generic aluminum angled strips and held together with self tapping brass screws. The eyepiece swivels around the center of the hood, and you can sharply see all four corners. Alternately you can simply lift the back straight up to a 45, and directly view the groundglass screen that way. I like it

    BTW the adjustable GX680 eyepiece is incredibly sharp; the image is enjoyable to view through this
