I have the list.

1957 Super Technika IV.

Frequently for ore then the lens is worth.

“...Using a technical camera design as anything other than a fixed 'box' is challenging enough, without putting a further limit onto the back of one....” nonsense, a LInhof Technika has full movements, front and back and is easy to use. Just look at the work of Sexton, Barnbaum, Elliott Porter and thousands of other Technika users and then rethink your statement!

You get 4 small wood screws, unscrew the lens flange from the Toyo board. Unscrew the shutter from the flange. Screw the flange to the FRONT of the Ansco board with the 4 small wood screws, alternatively you can screw the shutter back onto the flange, rotate the shutter till the scales are on top, mark thepositions of the holes in the flange on the Ansco board. Drill holes through the board where the marks are. Use 4 long machine screws to mount the flange to the board and remount your lens to the flange. Takes less time to do it then to read this.

None of those lenses are “process” lenses. Why did you think that they are?

A lens throws a circle of illum8nation. Your film sits within that circle. If that circle is smaller then 150mm your lens does not cover that format. If that circle is 150mm then it covers your format but without camera movements. If that circle is greater then 150mm then that lens allows movements within that larger circle. the closer you focus the larger the circle becomes. The more you stop down the larger the circle becomes.

Any coverage beyond 152mm is how much extra coverage for 4x5.

Owner Vows To Rebuild After Historic Central Camera Goes Up In Flames

810 Polaroid was introduced in 1976 at a presentation at the Waldorf Astoria in NYC.

Scheimpflug lets you control the plane of sharp focus. Not the depth of field. The aperture used and the point focused on along with the CofC control depth of field. They are two different things.

Put a ruler in the scene and measure 1” on the ruler against 1” on the gg. If the ruler in the scene measures ½” on the gg you are at ½ lifesize. If it measures 1” you are at 1:1 lifesize. If it measures 2” on the gg you are at 2x lifesize. when things get better you should take your camera and lens to FotoCare and have them guide you.

An easier way to correct exposure: ½ lifesize open 1 stop, lifesize open 2 stops, twice lifesize open 4 stops. or, increase exposure by the same increments or combine extra time and aperture by the same increments.

There are no intermediate speeds on your leaf shutter. If the meter calls for 1/15 you either set the shutter to 10 or 25 and adjust your aperture. Setting between speeds could break the shutter and it might not have opened. If your film is completely clear it did not receive any exposure. Take your lens off your camera, cock the shutter. Set the aperture wide open, set the shutter speed to 1/25 look through the lens and trip the shutter. If you saw light it works. If you didn’t you need it repaired.

Pittman, Johnson or Palm Beach Workshop or Carousel. Or Camera and Hobby in Orlando can’t deliver sheet film?

All Linhof Technika cameras, except the Repro Copy Camera have back rise/fall/tilt and swing. That was what their patent was for. The first all metal camera with full back movements. Your picture illustrates those movements. They are done via those back rods. Not much movements but they are certainly there.

1952 Technika lll. It’s too old to have the number on the shoe. it has rear tilt only on the front standard + swing, shift and the drop bed. Back has swing and tilts and minimal rise/fall. It takes special boards and cams for the lll only. To cam a lens the service center will need the camera and the lens. Starting with the V the service center only needs the lens to cam it. as long as you didn’t pay too much it’s a great camera to learn on. But the first thing you need to do with a camera this old is climb in a small closet, put a good flashlight into the body through the back, turn it on, wait a minute or two for your eyes to acclimate and then check every seam and corner for light leaks as well as the bellows itself. Then come out into the light and check each moment and control for smooth movements and effective locks. A camera this old can easily have a leaky bellows and need a rhrough CLA.

Mac group is the Toyo distributor. Ask them or a Toyo service center.

June of 2006. Only a decade off!

Linhof, Sinar, Wista, etc. don’t make prism finders. They offer mirror finders. That means that the viewing image is upright but reversed right to left. Prism finders are on mf and smaller cameras. They show an upright image that is not reversed right to left.

Maybe not, but these things progress overtime and then could effect IQ. Why not just look for a better lens?

Very old lenses might have separation from all manufacturers. But several decades ago the German government banned the glues used in those old lenses and all German lens manufacturers had to change the glue they used. Rodenstock had no more problems with separation then Schneider and lenses from Rodenstock after that change have not had that problem. You may have unfortunately bought enough old lenses to have experienced problems with one or the other. But Rodenstock lenses do and did not have this problem for decades. Since I was the U.S. product manager from 86 till 2015 I have personal knowledge with this. And you have never handled as many a Rodenstock lenses as I have or talked to as many users and dealers as I have. Lastly, process lenses are not normally used in a darkroom, enlarging lenses are. I operated a Robertson process camera in the AF and sold lenses to commercial print shops for process camera use. They were all outside the wet area.

If the camera uses Technika 45 boards the the only one that required that maneuver was the 90mm SA XL.

It’s a 1954 Technika lll.
