Update: just ordered new bellows from custom bellows uk. Next thing to do is make a tool to unscrew the bottom of the standart. I could have cut one or two patches from underneath the tripod mounting disc on the front flap but decided the damage wasn’t bad enough to do so This will hide the worn out spots and make the leather feel like new. The IV's back removes with a single lever lock, as shown on this camera. The III's back removes with four latches. While I‘m a sucker for patina this was a bit much to my taste.įirst I glued down all loose learher bits with leather glue (contact cement), then recolored the leather with black dye and sealed it off with gum tragacanth. Though most famous for their 4x5 Technikas, Linhof has a long tradition of smaller 6x9 Techs Technika III and IV 6x9's are almost the same camera. This camera has seen some use, there have been worn out patches everywhere, some tearouts and loose bits hanging off the body.
I decided to try some moly grease on the rails as soon as I get there.Īnyway I do have some more pictures to show. well I guess I‘ll have to figure it out myself. OK, maybe I‘m the first here trying to disassemble the front standart of a 5x7 Technika III.
