Linhof Recessed Board for 135mm Planar f/3.5 with Compur #1

[j._mose]

Hello:

 

<p>

 

Does anyone know if Linhof still manufactures a recessed lensboard that a 135mm Planar f/3.5 with Compur #1 shutter will fit? The only models #'s I see available are 001015, 001016 and 001094 which are for #0 shutters. If not made than I would appreciate the old model number and/or the correct hole size so I could search for it on Ebay. Thanks for your help.

 

<p>

 

Best regards,

Hi J. P.,

 

<p>

 

Bob Salomon is your best bet to veryify this, but I feel sure that

the only Linhof sunk panels that will accept a #1 shutter are the

Kardan panels. The diameter of the hole on the Technika type

front standard is too small to accommodate a #1 in a sunk

panel. As it is the control levers are a pretty tight fit.

The lensboard for the Planar has been out of production for many years.

As you probably know it was recessed to allow the camera to close with

that lens.

Linhof made three variations on the #1 recessed board for the original

135 Planar - tan finish, black finish and black with the quick-socket

cable release attachment. All three are the same otherwise. It will

only work with the older 58mm filter size Planars with older #1 Compur

shutters (i.e. 1/400th max.). The T* Planar with 67mm filter size and

later compur #1 is too large. Copal #1 shutters will not fit either.

The same lensboard was used for the 135mm Xenotar. They appear on ebay

from time to time but will never have a model number. You'll just have

to recognize it. Good Luck :)

P.S. The hole size is 42mm.

For Walter...

The board is only recessed about 1/4" so all controls are still easy to

access.

Steve & J.P.,

Sorry, my error. Mistook it for a Copal #1.

I have a 135mm Xenotar on a tan board. If I remember correctly the

front itself is not recessed but the back of the board is built-up

with a "well" that encircles the rear of the lens. Is theis the type

of board that you are looking for?

[dmin-99]

My mistake - I dredged-up that board that I have and it is the one

that you are looking for. The board is tan with a flat black insert

that will recess the lens about 1/4" when mounted. It's in mint

condition. Since I have the 135mm Xenotar and a cam I don't think

that I'd be too inclined to separate them. Email me if you are

interested.

Answering old questions may be an exercise in futility, but -

Hi,

do you still need a recessed lens boart for your Planar? I have the

same lens, on a recessed board. Since I use a Linhof, Color, I don't

need the recess. Want to swap lensboards?
