That's a very good question. They evidently use the Linhof film back as-is and the front standard that mounts to the body is Alpa specific but is anonymous as far as branding is concerned. I didn't even find a serial number on it.Graham,
Why doesn't that back say "ALPA"?

One thing I will say about the Linhof film back is that if we ever have a nuclear holocaust this thing will be in perfect working order and surviving alongside the cockroaches. I swear that it has victorian over engineered construction. :thumbs:
The TC becomes a veritable panzer tank with this thing on it. It's seems svelte by comparison with the P25+ or IQ back on.
It's been sitting around for a year or so unloved so I figured I ought to blow some film through it.
Which lens is this? i mean do you have a picture of it?This is from a late afternoon this winter on the Tidal Basin in Wash DC. I have not had the film scanned, so it's a cell phone shot of the slide on the light table. Shot with Velvia 100F with 90mm Super Angulon Lens- 2.5 second exposure & pulled 1/3 stop in development.
How many lights used for that shot?Took a snap of the simple setup of the closeup of the small bottles.
17mm macroadaptor.
One only. The small bouncer going through the bottles, nothing else.How many lights used for that shot?
It's a Gaoersi 617 camera. Not very expensive, but I preferred the shift function & use of GG for focusing in addition to the helicoid. It can take any lens that covers the film area.Which lens is this? i mean do you have a picture of it?
Which body or camera did you use?
Thank you very much!One only. The small bouncer going through the bottles, nothing else.
WOW, that is fantastic kit, thank you very much!It's a Gaoersi 617 camera. Not very expensive, but I preferred the shift function & use of GG for focusing in addition to the helicoid. It can take any lens that covers the film area.
The lens is a Schneider Super Angulon 90mm F8.
Here is a pic of the camera & 2 others taken with this set up.
Its works great. Very simple. I chose it over the Fotoman bc of the shift ability. I also have a Schneider 180mm Symmar S 5.6 with separate helicoid for it. The way it works is..you get the lens & tell the Gaoersi seller which lens (es) you have & they match the helicoids to the specific lens.WOW, that is fantastic kit, thank you very much!
Nice 2 shots, i would like to have this camera then over the most expensive equiv. Linhof/Horsman/Fuji.
I am not sure which lenses i should get if i have that camera or same 6x17 model, but in all cases i will keep my LF lenses in all cases.
