Linhof Technikardan V 5x7, rise ?

Linhof Technikardan V 5x7

How much front rise do you have with that model ?

>Is a 110 xl lens usable with max rise ?

 

>I used to have a Tech V 4x5, and sold it for a technikardan S for

architecture , but now having a 110xl and a 180 apo symmar; i'm

considering to buy a Tech V 5x7 for landscape works !

Any suggestions ?

I assume you mean Technika V as there isn't a Technikardan V. I have both a Tech V 5x7 and a 110 Super Symmar and you don't get much movement or coverage: the bellows bind and the lens doesn't cover much more than 5x7. This is from memory as I almost never use this combination because it doesn't suit my style of photography.

I have a Tech III 5x7" , a 90mm/f:8 Super Angulon and a 121mm one. They can both be used with the 5x7" Tech III, although the bellows is so compressed there's hardly any possibility of movements with the 90. The 121mm is a bit better, but it still seems to be bellows-limited.

 

The 110XL would fall between those two: Some movements possible, but not a lot. Bellows possibly more limiting than coverage.

I used the combination of a Technika III and the 110XL for a job and its great. With a monotripod and the max rise of about 35mm I had to take pictures of German Footballplaces. One of the pictures was enlarged to a 50/40 inch Cibachrome. The Technika V is rare and the III costs in German only about 400 Dollar. So I can recomand you a Technika III.

The limitations of movement would be a result of the camera

mechanics. I have successfully shot 8x10 with the 110mm lens

on axis and it just covers � centrefilter and all.

 

I do know of a wide-angle focussing device for the Tech III

available in Sydney. It takes short focal length lenses on

Technika 45 boards and focusses by a screw thread � like a

bigger version of the 4x5 wide-angle focussing device. I doubt it

would facilitate movement though, just making focus an easier

operation.

THIS IS ONLY FOR COPAL 0 !

Linhof also produced a wide angle focussing device for the 13/18 systems. It fits on the big technika lensboard and takes all 9/12 technika lensboards, copal 0,1 and 3. I use it with a 72 , for the 110 isn`t it necessary. Better you`ll mount it on a recessed lensboard.

In the last Schneider Catalog the 110XL has a max. movement of 56mm / 46mm(V/H). The Technika III has a max. vertical movement of 70mm, with a 110XL you can use about 35mm (Bellows are limiting the movement), in a recessed lensboard about 50mm.
