  1. Sorry, no record of that number. That means it is not post war and not a lll
  2. The 120mm wa would give you even bigger prints vertically.
  3. Our 57 Desoto convertible had an under dash 16rpm record player in it. Records were the size of a 45 but with a small hole. They were played upside down with the tone arm coming up to the record.
  4. And some Linhof’s also featured those asymmetrical movements. Except, unlike Sinar, Linhof’s had continually variable assymetric movement.
  5. Leica thread mount lenses and 0 shutters.
  6. But when you use the Leica Thread jam nut it should fit fine.
  7. Or, 4 lenses mounted on one board and baffled back to the image area.
  8. They were also police cameras. Some took 3 up and some took 4.
  9. Not that easy. To do it right. First the focal length of this fresnel will be wrong. Then you don’t just cut it to size. Yo cut it so the center remains centered. Then it is too thin and easily scratched.
  10. Not so. The parallelism of your camera is as important as everything else. If you can’t rely on it then you are wasting your time and money. Granted your large format may be used with movements but then it is also important that your movements are accurate and dependable.
  11. Technika were camreras wituoutbfprangefinders, super Technika were cameras with rangefinderders
  12. Just be careful, flashbulbs have exploded when fired. That’s why covers were made for the reflectors.
  13. You hear only part of the story. Both Bob Watkins at Precision and Nippon in NYC are factory trained LInhof service centers. You should always go to the factory sites to see who is authorized. Both these repair centers and the country distributors spent time and money for them to become authorized.
  14. Because a Super Technika has a rangefinder. In the old days they used just Technika for the bodies without a rangefinder. Over time users just referred to all models as just a Technika through the V series. When that was replaced by the current series it became the Master Technika, Master Technika Classic, Master Technika 2000 and the Master Technika 3000 and the Super designation ended with the 23, 45 and 57 Super Technika 5 cameras.
  15. Scare stories. Unless very old or abused they require less care then most.
  16. All 45 LInhof Technikardan cameras have an International back which is called a Graflock back on other cameras.
