Removing Linhof-Logo

[Kodiak]

I have some lens-holder plates for 4x6" Linhof. There is a Linhof-Logo as a metal (around 0.5x0.4" size) attached to front of the holder.
Anyone knows how I can remove the Logo and not damaging it?

You could try heat

I doubt that it's "Crazy Glue". Crazy glue will not last as long as the adhesive used to attach metal labels. Likely, it has a plastic or rubber base. Gentle heat will probably work as well as anything. You can warm, and slip a sharp object beneath the label, then lift gently so as not to damage the label.

You might want to post this query to the large format photography forum.

The badge from one of my c. 1960 Linhof lens boards popped off a few years ago. I would try gently prying it with a precision flat head screwdriver.

This question is almost comical, as usually these metal badges fall down by themselves over time. Absolutely no "magic" metal glue to hold them in place! The amount of Linhof lensboards with missing badge for sale on eBay is absolutely impressive and almost self-explanatory.

In case you have one of the few lensboards in which the badge doesn't pop off just by letting it alone, I would try first to take it off with a small screwdriver acting from the bottom (so the damage would be less visible, should it be marred). In the rare case in which it would stubbornly refuse to fall down, I would submerse it in alcohol for a long time: it should dissolve the glue on the long run.

I wonder why you want to remove it at all, though. It should stay exactly where it is.

To put on another board? To sell?

If it's metal pop it off with some localized heat.

If it's metal pop it off with some localized heat.

Or FREEZE it off

"Freeze Off" wart remover?

"Freeze Off" wart remover?

From what I read, just a freezer seems OK, next to / under the peas and carrots or green beans
