[LargeFormat] Linhof Color

[philip lambert]

A recessed Linhof lensboard doesn't have much depth -with it the camera
would  focus a distant subject but the bellows remained tight. I tried
making a deeper recess but the bellows throat opening was too small to get
fingers in to adjust the shutter The way the front and rear standard were
made were not conducive to the use of rise. At one point I contemplated
having some surfaces machined away but sold the camera as too fiddly.  As
Clive will confirm, there are better cameras around.PL
