There were different ways to do this, depending if you wanted to take multiple shots on the same sheet at the same time or if you wanted different shots on the same sheet. In the first case there would be multiple lenses on the camera and a septum inside the camera that would divide the images on the camera into the number of lenses on the camera. This set up could also do multiple individual shots if each lens was in its own shutter. In the second case the camera had a single lens and a shifting back.

The Wista should have more movements. The wood Wistas do not have a revolving back. You simply unclimbed it and rotate it from portrait to landscape mode. The metal Wista folding cameras have a revolving back. There is no hand grip for the Wista.

But are they aligned to the board?

But are they both aligned to the base board?

Black was much less expensive to produce and it was not a surface that could create flare.

No

Not necessarily, lenses continuously evolved over their manufacturing life.

There was the older version, without the stripe and the later version with the stripe. When Rodenstock introduced the Apo Sironar S series a few years ago they added a stripe to each lens series.

An camera repairman can repair shutters.

Same places, it is just a simple shutter repair, hopefully, not a lens repair.

When I stated no parts, that is for your camera, of course.

Linhof factory trained service in the USA is Precision in Niles IL and Nippon in NYC. Contact them. Bob at Precision and Rim at Nippon. There are no repair parts from the factory still available from the factory.

Where are you located?

Then their lenses probably had a focus shift.

If you have a lens that shifts focus with taking aperture then by all means, focus at taking aperture. One example of a lens that behaves this way is the Imagon. But if your lens does not shift focus as you change aperture then you will always focus most accurately wide open.

But your link goes to what you don't want to use for correct focusing since it is pre focused instead of being able to be adjusted so you focus on the actual grain surface of the gg where the film will actually be placed. This loupe will always be out of focus by, at least, the thickness of the ground glass and even more if a top mounted Fresnel is used! Always use a loupe that can be adjusted. In addition, this is an open tube design which will allow light to enter from the sides creating flare on the gg and making focusing more difficult. A focusing loupe for a gg should have an opaque skirt. Not a clear or translucent one.

Take your camera to FotoCare and let them tell you what would be best. You obviously misquoted them before because no one has made a 160mm lens for decades and they would not have told you that.

Yes

That lens is in a shutter with X synch so it is already set up for electronic flash.

I'm not impressed with his products.

Why would be exited rather then possibly excited?

Magic marker or Sharpie

1964 or 65

Oops, 4 shots, full length, front face and left and right profiles on one sheet.

The Linhof version took 3 shots, a full length and front and side head shots on a sheet of 45 film.
