Hi,
As the title says, I'm looking for a 2x3 Linhof. The condition is not important.
Thank you,
Robert

Renato,
Thanks for the reply. I'm sure your Linhof outfit is really nice. I'm in need of the basic body with or without the normal lens,
thank you,
Robert

I'd like to keep mine together as a set since the cams match... https://flic.kr/p/27is9jJ

Can you tell me more about your project?

 

[rknewcomb]

Wow that is pretty! Too nice not to keep together.
I want to adapt one to use very wide lenses.

fun fun, good luck. some beaters / parts show up from time to time on ebay, keep your eyes open!

It’s not a great camera for ultrawide lenses, except insofar as the rollfilm backs offer excellent film flatness. Once you’re inside the box, there isn’t much room for applying any camera movements, and even back movements won’t get you much of an advantage over simply stopping down the lens for more DOF.

I have a Tech V 23b and a Tech V 4x5. The widest lens I use on the 23 is 55mm. I occasionally use a 47mm lens with a helical mount on the 4x5”, and if I want a medium format image, I’ll use a rollfilm back on the 4x5” camera, but I only use the 47mm on the Tech V, because I use the Tech V mainly with other lenses, and having an ultrawide in the bag gives me another option. If I wanted a dedicated ultrawide 4x5” camera, I’d probably look for something else. Sometimes, if I’m shooting the 2x3 Technika and want the option of going wider than my 55mm lens, I’ll bring a Noblex 120.
