mike_mcmullan1 Posted January 22, 1998 Share Posted January 22, 1998 Interested in a purchase of a linhof 23s camera, anybody have any sugestions about this camera, good or bad. My main photography is done backpacking. Would this be a good camera for this type of stuff? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean_donnelly Posted February 2, 1998 Share Posted February 2, 1998 I own a Technikardan 45, which continues to amaze me with its convenience and versatility. Linhof's advertising claims are no exaggeration -- the TK's really are full-featured monorail cameras which fold to field camera size, without any disassembly. <p> After five months of use, all backpacking, I wholeheartedly recommend the TK. It's worth the hefty price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ron_shaw Posted March 5, 1998 Share Posted March 5, 1998 Personally, I beleive that if you are going to go to the trouble of a view camera, go with larger formats. 4x5 cameras arent that much larger. You give up a lot of conveinience by going to a view camera, so you might as well enjoy a larger negative for your trouble. Of course, you do gain movements, but you loose speed, TTL metering, etc.,etc. If you really want to use roll film, maybe a nice used med. format would be as better for your application?
