Yes, the precision of all those adjustments and the smoothness is nothing short of superb. A year ago, when I had a Technika V overhauled at the factory in Munich, I bought a few items, including the 3D Micro Head. I had never experienced such a tool to work with. Initially purchased for work with the Technika, it is also excellent with the Hasselblad Superwide and the 28mm Super Angulon PC Shift lens, greatly assisting with managing image geometry. The close-up images of the fine controls we see in this video are very helpful, and illustrate well the precision, and the joy it is to use. Thank you.
Really nice to see a UA-cam channel that show some professional use of a technical view camera! Congrats for the really high quality video. I hope there is more to come!
I hope that you stick around for more. I've whittled down my technical cameras to two: Novoflex BALPRO T/S and Cambo Actus Mini, which is sort of sad. The M679cs is the best I've ever used, but as more and more of what I do relies on high magnification composit images, I need automation and the M679cs is too heavy for every affordable, compact focus stacker.
nice video, PS. everyone, an 'Optical bench' is what high end manufacturers of 4x5" cameras call the "mono-rail" in their monorail cameras, just a silly name but i think it helps when differentiating between the rail and the tripod mount and it's accessories.
@@FauxtakuLounge Both are understood, so there is no right or wrong. But for many Americans, dare I say, "Optical Bench" scares them as it is too scientific. Other examples: The wonderful Gossen light meter, The Gossen Sixtar, was renamed: "Gossen Pilot" for the American market, "Pilot" being more cool than "Sixtar". The Contax 167 MT was renamed the "Contax Aria", primarily for the Americans who baulked at a 3-digit number. A very capable Canon 35mm SLR, I don't remember it's original release name, but appeared in the US as the "Canon Rebel." ... and so on.
Hi there, love the breakdown video of this camera! I have one specific question which relates to the lens attachment to the copal shutter. From what I gather, you've attached a ring adapter on the rear barrel of the lens to fit the copal shutter, is that correct? If so, what type of adapter would I need to screw in the lens? Thank you for your time.
Hi, I hope you learned something else all this year, coz I see nobody have answer. Anyway, as a photo teacher, I can tell you some things: For this kind of photography as you see in the video, you will need first quality equipment, a superb lens as Nikor, Zeiss, Rodenstok, schneider; a high resolution digital back, as Hasselblad, PhaseOne, Anagram DE and a high quality camera as the one in the video, but there are many, as Arca Suisse, Toyo, Calumet, etc. You will need fine grain film too, as Ilford Iso 50 in blackl and white or Fuji Velvia E6 film. Finaly, if you get all this wear, forget to have car, house or wife, coz all this are sooooo expensive that will crash your budget.... good luck !!
Fauxtaku here. That lens is the Nikkor 150mm F/5,6. It isn't a good macro lens but is a GREAT multi-purpose lens for general duplication as well as even landscapes. It covers a massive image circle and is sharp at medium-long distances with great colour. You need a shade.

Kevin Parratt thank you for the comment. It is a great camera, and truly precise, able to stretch long enough even for a 150 lens to get close.
Magnific Linhof,the best, precision,high quality!!!!!!!!
Great video my friend! I was amazed from Linhof focusing precision.
There are a number of things it does far better than the competition; focusing is one.

Many thanks for the kind comment. I simplify use cases for most of what I show, nonetheless I hope the information is helpful.

I totally agree.

That is to say that I used the wrong term, or did I get it right? I've always called it that, and I'm ready to be corrected.

Well, it doesn't get any better than this.
Best technical camera I've used, though I've only used five.

@@ivanguerra1260 You nailed it on all points.
I'm very curious about the lens you used! Can I get the lens information???

And of the HR Rodenstock wide angle lenses will be great. You may need a centre filter though.
