True, but don’t you have the Leitz one from the 70s?

The inventors were engineers and lithium lubricants as well as silicone ones were available when the tripod was made. As was petroleum jelly or Vaseline.

Why would you use anything other then what the inventor recommended?

Leitz USA purchased the Tiltall tripod line in 1973 and made them until about 1990 when they were bought by Fred Albu who owned Camera Barn, Uniphot and Star D.

No, that plate is correct and that is an 87 serial number. Sorry for the confusion.

No. There is no Master Technika V. There was the V which was discontinued and replaced by the Master Technika. You have a Master Technika, albeit an early one. The latest version of your camera is the Master Technika Classic.

No, 1979.

Your lens is for either a 35mm or a 6x6cm Camera. Unless you have a bellows focusing camera like the Rollie SL66 with a focal plane shutter you would need a helical focusing mount and the tube to mount it. It might have come from an old Exacta 35mm SLR. Your best use for this lens would be to see if one group would work as a magnifying lens.

It would be less expensive to just buy a used 135 or 150mm lens already in shutter then to waste money on what you have now.

You want a camera repair facility that can mount everything for you.

Do you have the correct lensboard with the proper size hole?

Master Technika late 1973

The Master Technika was made in the mid to late 90s. Your Super Technika V was made in 64.

Sorry, back tilts and swings will change the shape of the subject. Front tilts and swings do not change subject shape. Both front and rear tilts do Scheimflug for plane of sharpness control.

Except your 4x print may not be within the lens optimization range while it may be within the normal lens range.

The TechniKardan 45 and 45s are folding monorails with back and front movements!

Rodenstock and Schneider both made different grade lenses with different model names. For instance Rodenstock made the following in 50mm: Rogonar Rogonar S Rodagon Apo Rodagon N And for 30% larger magnification at the same head height as a 50mm WA Rodagon If you can find one and afford it: 45mm Apo Rodagon N No 75mm will give you the best quality prints. They are budget low end lenses. For 67 for best results you need one of the following: 80mm 90mm 105mm Or the WA 60mm For 45 best results would be: 135 Rodagon 150Rodagon 120 WA Rodagon If you want huge prints (30x or more) you need a lens like the Rodagon G Best performance from any enlarger lens will be 2 stops down from wide open. Enlarger properly aligned and the film in a glass carrier and printed at the optimal magnification range for the lens. If you don’t do this then the lowest grade lens will probably suffice. Leitz used the Apo Rodagon N to replace the Foctar when it was discontinued. No lens, other then the lens the cam was cut for will auto focus on a mechanical focus enlarger. Even if you had, for instance, the Kaiser electronic AF enlargers you would have to reprogram it if you change lenses for a different one, even if it is the same model lens.

Get the 35mm Apo Grandagon if you want rectilinear extra wide on roll film. And what format 6x12? Linhof = 56 x 120 or the other ones that are closer to 56 x 112?

38mm might be the widest rectilinear lens for 6x6 but both Rollei and Hasselblad offered both the 40mm rectilinear and the 30mm fisheye for their 6x6 SLR camera’s. The 30 was quite a bit wider then the 38!

A pair of very small triangular and circular files can be used in various combinations on the flaps on each side of film holders to make notches of different combinations to mark on the edge of each sheet of film to identify which sheet was exposed on which side of each holder. Similar to the numbering friskit Linhof used on their sheet film and their glass plate/sheet film holders.

1977 and 1975

That screen, I believe, is ground, if so, shooting off it will not be grain free.

If you really want to shoot off your gg then find a Boss Screen for your camera. The image is formed on a wax layer so it is grainless.

Then it should work as long as the eyepiece is adjustable for focusing on the grain of the gg. Not the top of the gg.

And a far wider and more readily available film choice with a far wider lens availability with much lighter cameras, tripods and lenses and film holders!
