You'll be carrying the camera, a tripod, filmholders, a light meter, and possibly other accessories like filters and a lens shade, so it's not like a lens outside the camera adds much to your kit. If you're using camera movements and a tripod, then the rangefinder isn't as important, and you're not shooting action handheld where you'll want to open the camera and pull the standard forward as quickly as possible. On the other hand, if you're mainly shooting architecture like in the Joseph Bellows images you linked, do you really need a lens that folds in the camera? Putting a lens on a Technika and setting it at infinity is a quick operation. When I’m looking for lenses on eBay, I tend to gravitate towards ones that already have an attached Technika lens board, because it saves me time, effort, and sometimes cost.Ĭlick to expand.A 150/4.5 Xenar on a flat board does fold in a Technika.Īs for a 180, if you really need it to fold in the camera, maybe something like a 7" Dagor would fit in a small enough shutter to close in the camera, but it would be hard to find, and you would probably have to make a project of it to find one, maybe in barrel, and have it mounted in a shutter that fits, which could end up costing as much as a more modern lens, though the Dagor would still be a great lens with a huge image circle. They’re used in Technikas, Technikardans, Shen Haos, Wistas, and other cameras. You’ll notice the they have the lower corners clipped. Technika IV and later use a very common, and visually distinctive lens board. This is a quick overview from someone who is far from an expert, but others can chime in if I misstated anything. Then when that is tight, the rear lens element is screwed back into the rear of the shutter. It slides through the board and a threaded ring screws in from the back and clamps the board to the shutter. The shutter has a large diameter externally threaded shaft about the diameter of the hole on the board.

So you would probably need a Technika board drilled for a #0 shutter. The Caltar in your link looks like a Copal 0 to me, but I’m far from an expert. The 00 and 0 shutters have the usual progression of shutter speeds your used to from smaller cameras. You can also look at the pictures and use some visual clues to determine the shutter. Fortunately Copal and Compur seemed to match sizes, so a Copal 0 and a Compur 0 are the same hole size (and I assume the same lens element mounts and spacing, but I’ve never really confirmed that.). Some lenses changed over the years, or it’s possible the lens was remounted in a new shutter. First, you can look online to see if you can find out what shutter was normally sold on the lens-though be careful. If the seller doesn’t mention what shutter is on the lens, you can do a couple things. That’s because each shutter has a standard hole size. But usually you’ll see it listed as “Copal 0” or “Compur 1” or similar. All bits of this are in excellent condition, and look to have been scarcely used, some look new.
