[LargeFormat] Linhof Color

[Ole Tjugen]

Linhof Colors DO have limited wideangle capability. But they handle a 90mm 
Angulon on a flat board with some movements, so the problems are with more 
extreme focal lengths. The ability to mount the tripod clamp behind the rear 
standard lets you put the front standard at the very edge of the rail. The 
main limitation is not the bellows, it's the "roof" of the rear. I've never 
understood the reason for it, and may cut it off if I ever want to use wider 
lenses than a 90mm.

Total bellows draw is about 42cm, so the tele cabability is very good. And the 
360 Tele has a flange focal distance of 21cm.
