voigtlander 6.5x9 bergheil/Avus with Makina holders?

rknewcomb · Jan 22, 2019

Hi,
When i look at all the threads about finding film holders for the voigtlander bergheil and/or Avus it kind of makes my head spin. .I'd like one of these cameras but checking out the holder situation before buying a camera. I'm not sure I'm ready to dive into that well but have a specific question.
Will the Plaubel Makina 6.5x9cm film holders fit in a 6.5x9cm voigtlander bergheil and/or Avus?
thank you,
Robert

Hello Again Robert,

Here is the RADA catalog. I think they made holders for Bergheil and Avus.
The Makinas take the "Normalfalz" holders.

Hi,
Rada does seem like a good brand to look for, but understanding the small differences in any particular holder so i could hope it would fit a Bergheil or Avus seems like a long shot.
I did find a 2x3 Premo No. 12 camera that already has holders so maybe that would be better.
You did very well on that Makina ll, very good price.

It's always a long shot. Many times I have been disappointed. They do list Voigtlanders, but who else knows?

The flange is too thin on the Plaubel holders, if I remember correctly. I have a couple and they sure don't fit the Voigtländers.

Hi JPD,
Thanks for that information on the Plaubel Makina holders. Since I have many Makina holders I had hope they would fit.

I use a Rada 120 roll film holder on my Bergheil... fits perfectly.

I used metal Kodak holders in my 6X9 Bergheil with success.
These Kodak holders are the same ones which fit the Medalist sheet film back.

I see Rada roll backs on a regular basis, but finding the correct one is the question I guess. Good infomation for me.
The Kodak Medalist holders would be fairly easy to do. Thanks you all for the good help.
