Maybe you can always sell it. Maybe not! As film supply shrinks for 810 you have a limiting market!

The vast majority of users of analogue cameras, regardless of format, do not think of or use X-ray film or paper to shoot in their cameras!

If yours slips over and clamps onto the column, then no. If yours has a threaded ¼ or ⅜” hole on the bottom then probably yes.

Yes, you did not write that 30 years ago! There was no digital. There were no serious cell phone cameras. You can not do 810 for $5.00. You can not easily dodge and burn 810 contact prints without substantial investment in a very sophisticated contact printer, and even then, it is not easy. If 810 prints are your goal, it is a very small enlargement from 45. Making 810 prints from 45 allows one to easily manipulate the image, if necessary or desired. Lastly, 45 is infinitely more versatile, more convenient, less expensive, much lighter, unless you get a full blown, modular studio camera! 45 offers a vastly greater range of lenses from extreme wide angle to the longest focal length you could possibly use on most 810s to macro lenses. Lastly you can do creative printing on 45 like cropping or changing ratios, simply and easily when enlarging.

And don’t forget, an 810 enlargement from 45 is only a 2x enlargement. That would be the less then a 3x2” print from 35mm. But 45 is easier to transport and handle, weighs less, Has far more lenses available in a very wide range of focal lengths, needs a far more common and lighter tripod, probably has more direct and indirect movements on the front and the back. Is far less expensive, has a much greater range of film types available. And is far easier to develop and print. But the choice is yours!

Does your holder have a white strip on each side to write pencil notes? If not, bring some white tape with you. Or go to a stationary or art shop and buy some various colored tapes.

Post 1993 Master Technika. Enjoy!

Since the post is a 1976listing a lot of available lenses are not included, including a lot of updated versions of some listed here!

Contact Equinox they were with BetterLight till the end and are now Rencay.

So is the 115mm Grandagon-N

Modern 150mm lenses like the Apo Sironar S cover as do modern 180 lenses. What is your definition of inexpensive?

You have a 1953 Technika Standard Press with a Shen Ho lens board. Buy an old Linhof board. This model was only made from 1950 to 54 for the American market as a stripped down camera to compete with the Graflex.

Jennifer, sorry about your father, But you are about to get ripped off by these people! Cancel this auction and get yourself, and the equipment, over to someone that knows photo in your area, even if it is just Warren Buffet’s Omaha Furniture Market’s photo department, a remaining camera store or contact KEH or Quality Camera in Atlanta!

If it is good coverage almost all the way then what does it cover with good coverage all the way? Not almost?

If you are “cheap” then you are creating a more expensive repair!

Why not just let a camera repair shop fix it correctly before you must have one do a repair from your tinkering?

Rollei offered a cut film holder for their 6x6cm TLR cameras.

The CombiPlan offered an accessory rack that took up to 12 2.25x3.25 sheets. They are hard to find now and require the 2 blue washers for proper spacing. Of course the Combi also took 3x4 as well as 4x5 with no added parts required. The entire system has been discontinued for a while and that accessory tray for many years.

I was the Linhof Product and sales manager from 1980 to 2015 and the Rodenstock one from 1986 to 2015. During that time I used all of the ones mentioned but the arca one was never a point of discussion. Besides, for over a decade, Arca is in France.

Fill them with something heavy and they become paperweights, bookends or doorstops.

Copal electronic and Horseman electronic were Japanese. Seiko, a watch maker, made mechanical view camera shutters and electronic shutters for small format. Prontor, Compur are German as were their electronic shutters. Rollei and Rodenstock made - Rollei and make electronic shutters, both are German, although Rodenstock and Sinar - Swiss collaborated on the eShutter. Many of the earlier electronic shutters were actually mechanical shutters that were electronically controlled. Linhof also marketed, for a short time, their behind the lens Presto Shutter. It was also German. So basically no Swiss made shutters.

And a much larger market!

Compared to the watch market that large format shutter market is minuscule. And the Swiss are very business orientated!
