No!

I’d want to know why some screw has signs of tampering since the finish is worn off.

Probably, depends on what camera you have.

Precision Camera in IL.

Something in the 210 to 240 range.

1955.

Joe, absolutely right, there were, but to get the best of even those you still need a properly aligned enlarger, glass carrier, etc..

If you are not using a glass carrier with a properly aligned enlarger and printing within the optimal f stop range and magnification range you would not see a difference.

And those white packs on the soldier’s backs were just stock Boblebee cases painted white.

It’s a solenoid to fire the shutter.

1953 Technika lll

That is one of the ones for a 23 camera, not a 45 camera. The 45 version has the International or Graflok mounting base. Yours has the round flange mount for Linhof 23 Cameras. Sorry about that,

Is yours the 23 or the 45 version? The insides are the same but the shells are different. There was also a 23 version that had a gear wheel outside the shell. That one will only fit one specific Linhof camera. Do you have a 45 IV or the 23 IV.

No, a 001015 should solve your problem, but you want the older, pre comfort one.

You need the 001015 Linhof board. If you would rather hassle with the aggravations of a recessed board then buy the older version. But you will need to find a right angle nipple for the flash contact if you will want to use a flash and the proper connections for the cable release quick socket. The comfort board will eliminate those problems plus let you set aperture on the face of the board and have the press focus moved to the face of the board plus have the aperture scale and indicator on the face of the board. All of these you would have to do within the recess of the board otherwise. Plus it doesn’t use the wire for the cable release socket.

Please bear in mind, Linhof did not recommend or offer any lenses other then Rodenstock, Schneider or Zeiss except for a couple of Nikon teles. All of their boards made in the past 4 or 5 decades were for Copal, Compur, Prontor Professional, Rollei and Rodenstock shutters. You may have to use a flat board, if you can get the lens to focus with it. You might also want to call Bob Watkins at Pro service in IL and ask him what he would suggest.

What camera? What shutter?

You will need the recessed board if the Nikon is in a 0 shutter. Yes, you will have front tilt forward and back with the dropped bed. Note, the Comfort board is for the Copal 0 shutter only.

The 2000 was designed to take an add on accessory IR rangefinder/multi focus finder that went across the entire top of the camera. That meant that on the 2000 the locking knobs for the back extension and the strap lugs were moved to the sides of the body and were not on the top. The finder system proved to not function as designed and was recalled after a year or so. Some might still be in the field but unlike the mechanical cams the 2000 system required a PC computer running a very old Windows OS and could only have the cramming program on it. So any still left are incapable of being programmed today or for the past decade or more. To use the finder on the camera there was an IR receptor that fit to the front of the top body housing and protruded through a slot in the top that placed it into the camera housing. A piece of the body covering had to be removed to access the slot.

No, it’s a Classic which has had its rangefinder stripped off. If it was a 2000 then there would be a wide angle focusing system inside the body.

If it has a rangefinder it is the Classic.

Lots of people do, but then you need a much larger case.

Sounds like you have the Heavy Duty Pro tripod from Linhof. If you disconnect one end of your bellows, usually the lens end with the 5x7 camera, hold it to the rear standard with a strong elastic band, and rotate each standard so they are parallel to the rail you will then have a flat camera which can be easier to pack.

Contact cement. But that cork might start to fall apart with use. Why not go to Micro-Tools and get some proper material? Camera Repair Tools
