GRINDING CAMS Consideration: If I could get a 150 mm cam for my Super Technika, can I make it work with my 150mm Doctar?? Do I have to grind it? We'll see.... Shown is the 135mm I've got. This is the 150mm I'm looking for... Well, I bought it from Fons de Vries, it took its time... Properly posted by Fons something went terribly wrong, it took about 3 weeks before it was delivered in a heavily damaged package. Fortunately, no harm done to the cam... First checking my GG with the Doctar mounted on inf. Next using the rangefinder, focusing on several distances while rechecking the GG. The result was spot-on! No grinding necessary, all works flawless.

Ours is mounted in a Copal 1 shutter. Worth to mention as this is a highly corrected lens with an image circle of 184mm. Click image to see the lens and construction. Using this one when pinpoint sharpness is required and for 1:1 when zero distortion is called for...

ABOUT LINHOF CAMS The IV/V/Master RF cams will physically interchange. They can be quickly recognized because they have ridged grooves where the cam is inserted into the camera body. IV cams have the serial number of the camera on the bottom of the cam AS WELL as the serial number of the lens on the top of the cam. Note that since the IV has a non standardized back, its cams will not dependably focus on the later cameras, or even on other IV's. V/Master cams look the same as the IV cams, but ONLY have the serial number of the lens engraved. These cams can be accurately interchanged between V and Master bodies using that particular lens.
