LINHOF TECHNIKA IV TOP STRAP FULL
I was maybe two feet away from the subject, and I’m guessing the magnification was about half full size.Ĩ) I didn’t meter any of the shots-I mostly wanted to ensure that I could operate the camera and everything else correctly. I’m not sure what they're set for, but the middle one is pretty close for the 150 lens.ħ) I was surprised how close I could get with the bellows and the extra extension. Maybe I’m missing something.Ħ) the camera came with three infinity stops installed. It doesn’t shade very well, and if you try to block the light by getting closer, you’re too close to see the whole frame. The original ground glass is a little scuffed as well, so it may be worth replacing.ĥ) that little pop up window with the shade for viewing the ground glass seems basically useless. I need to look into what options there are for a brighter screen. This doesn’t have a fresnel I can see which also makes it harder to see the entire composition at once. But I’m pretty sure I’m going to need these.ģ) the T-shirt leaks a lot of light, but more importantly, it doesn’t let me get far enough from the ground glass to get a good view of the composition.Ĥ) at the closer distances the ground glass would go dark where I wasn’t looking. I used a black T-shirt as my dark cloth and a spare enlarger 50/4 as my loupe for focusing. I’ll see if I can get replacements on film holders, but I’ll probably accept the camera as-is.Ģ) I held off on all the accessories I thought I’d need, partly because everything else tapped me out, but also because I wanted to make sure I actually needed the stuff before spending. One was so rough I would have graded it “ugly”.
LINHOF TECHNIKA IV TOP STRAP CRACKED
The 8 film holders were sold as “excellent” and two have cracked dark slides. The focus is sticky like the old lube is drying up. The “bargain” camera looks well worn (though fully functional.). Some of this gear seems on the opposite side.
Though I did learn a few things.ġ) with a lot of other things, KEH has always graded conservatively, and “bargain” usually meant pretty darn good. By luck, they were both delivered today with enough time for me to run through everything and take and develop 4 test shots to make sure I’m doing everything correctly.Įverything was a success, mostly. The second was with Stearman for the SP-445 developing tank and a box of Fomapan 100. On with KEH for a “bargain” condition Linhof Technika IV, 8 film holders, a Schneider Symmar-S 150/5.6, and a Schneider Symmar 210/5.6. There are no places locally to buy cameras either, so this happened through lots of research online and some Hail Marys. I’ve been hemming and hawing for a couple of years but never pulled the trigger. Ive never shot large format before, just roll film.
