I stand corrected. Sorry for the mis-information. I just got my f2 kit, and have downloaded all I could find, but as was pointed out here, it is NOT the instruction manual. Or does it? I will have to take pics and show what I see I have limited bandwidth, and it's a 10MB attachment. Rick "the bellows lip--not the whole frame--should clip in the same as a lens board" Denney.

Accepts all Polaroid 4X5 backs. I can make another for you. There is a bellows tab that keeps the bellows from sagging. Complete with custom focusing cloth which is held onto the perimeter of the rear carrier frame by Velcro. Notes on the above and below listed 8X20 Sinar P camera: I designed the 8X20 Sinar to be light weight and compact and to function well with all focal length lenses up to 30".
The bellows are made by America's best bellows manufacturer. A bellows tab keeps the bellows from sagging at intermediate extension and also attaches to the rear carrier frame for storage of the bellows and ease of camera setup. The ground glass back is from a commercially made camera and accepts standard filmholders.
There is a large white-on-one-side, black-on-the-other-side focusing cloth included with the 8X20 Sinar. This focusing cloth is designed for this particular camera. There is Velcro around the perimeter of the rear carrier frame and complementary Velcro on the focusing cloth. This focusing cloth wraps around the camera in front of the focusing controls so that you have access to the focusing controls underneath the cloth.
The cloth blocks out light from above and below. The cloth stays cool with the reflective white side out, yet is opaque due to the black interior. There is plenty of room under the cloth to step back and view the ground glass from a comfortable viewing distance for composing.
Of course, it is not just an 8X20 Sinar. It is convertible to other formats. You can mount other formats onto the rear standard bearer. You get the rear carrier frame with ground glass, bellows and custom focusing cloth as seen in the above 8X20 camera outfit. Use your own Sinar standard bearer, rail Complete with. I built this for a customer who previously had me build an 11X14 format change kit.
I did not make a spacer for this customer because he will be using his 11X14 front standard. I used the Deardorff ground glass frame because I had it on hand and saw no need to duplicate it. This is not in stock. It was made on commission and promptly shipped out. I will make one for you upon demand. Note the use of a velvet bed for the filmholder. It is too much to expect the camera and filmholder interface in such a large camera to be light tight without a velvet filmholder bed.
Sinar and Linhof use velvet filmholder beds in 4X5 cameras. Only the inexperienced would not use a velvet filmholder bed in a 12X20 camera. The buyer of this 12X20 format change kit said, "The camera looks fantastic and exceeded my expectation. Thank you very much. I've used it on the 8X20 Sinar and it performs beautifully. Sharp and rectilinear, but decidedly soft focus F5. It's a true soft focus, too, similar to the Kodak Portrait lens in performance. It gradually, but rather quickly becomes sharp as you stop down.
At F11, almost all of the soft focus effect is gone. Center filters help even out the exposure on extreme wide angle lenses. In the past I have sold them in barrel with water house stop set from F5. Custom paper cutter for cutting 16X20" Cibachrome or Ilfochrome into 8X20", made of 1.
Note: None of the below listed Handys have shift. The distance from the Hasselblad SW mount to the film plane was duplicated on the Handy; focus and registration is perfect. There is a black anodized spacer ring between the Sinar lenscone and the Hasselblad SW helical focusing mount.
Note: Lens in focusing mount on lensboard with altered Hasselblad viewfinder only. The 4th and 5th photos illustrate a custom mounting device mounted on this Sinar Handy with 38mm Biogon which is listed below. The Superwide body was sold; the last photo is of that camera body.
GLENNVIEW made Sinar handy custom mounting device mounts onto rear of handy and allows you to either mount the camera on the top of a tripod for shooting straight up or to place flat on floor or tabletop for shooting straight up. The 4th and 5th photos above illustrate this piece.
NEW 47mm f5. Sinar never made a lens cone for use with the SA-XL. It was necessary to make 2 lens cones in order to determine the precise spacing. The 1st lenscone allowed me to test the focusing distance. Once proper spacing was determined, the 2nd, larger lens cone was made. The lens cone needed to be the largest diameter possible in order to avoid vignetting. Extreme precision was required in all phases of the construction of this unique 8X10 Handy.
There was nothing easy about it. The result is a perfectly functioning camera unique in the industry. There is a custom back plate that provides protection for the 8X10 GG and allows the camera to be placed on its back on the ground or on the floor for shooting straight up.
Of course, you may use the Sinar tripod couplers with either the 4X5 or the 8X10 to mount the cameras as well. There is a center filter. There are lenscaps for the lens and the center filter. There are 2 Sinar double levels designed to mount onto the cameras with a linear convex first surface mirror that allows you to see from behind and below the cameras.
There are accessory mounts that would typically be used with viewfinders. One image shows handgrip removed and camera mounted onto Foba tripod head utilizing the coupling piece.
The last image is from a Sinar Handy brochure and explains the essence of the Handy. Everything in the picture, except for the lens and focusing mount on lens cone has been sold.
I leave this up for your information. Shutter has a self timer, a cable release socket and a PC synch with a protective plastic cover. The helical focusing mount has scales in both Meters and Feet. The lens will focus to.
This lens is mounted on a Sinar lenscone and is properly spaced; you may mount this on any Sinar 4X5 carrier frame and it will focus on the ground glass mounted on the opposite side of the carrier frame. The Prontor Press self-cocking shutter makes for fast shooting; add a Grafmatic and fire away. See my View Camera accessories web page for 4X5 Grafmatic rapid shot film holders.
Handy complete with multicoated 58mm F5. I purchased this USA lens and focusing mount new. Lens is clean and free of problems. Shutter is working smoothly at all speeds. The helical focusing mount has scale in feet. The lens will focus to 3 feet 7 inches. The 53mm Super Angulon is a half stop faster than, with the same coverage and equivalent resolution to the Biogon. It is in a great Schneider chrome plated brass 65mm focusing mount with translation scale, gives 4.
When focused close, such as in the lighthouse, the image circle is larger. Simple mechanical viewfinder folds. Bubble level just behind the VF. Lens Mint. The ground glass back is off of a commercially made view camera. Will accept any lens designed to work on a 4X5 Sinar Handy. The baseplate and the backplate allow the camera to be used without a tripod in some situations. Set the camera on a level surface on the baseplate or the backplate and it is level.
The baseplate and the backplate each have a tripod socket as well. The backplate also serves as a ground glass protector. There is a Sinar accessory attachment bar on top of the camera. A Sinar double bubble level is attached. Viewfinders may also be mounted on the attachment bar with a Sinar attachment bar shoe between.
A VF really is not needed for this camera. The lenses cover a lot. All you really have to do is to chosse your viewpoint and level the camera if necessary. I used no VF for the negative illustrated. This is not a complete camera, but a change kit that allows you to get the complete image your lens produces. You need to already own a 4X5 handy with lens. What is included is the 8X10 carrier frame, 8X10 GG back, recessed front plate to accept Sinar lensboards, baseplate, backplate, accessory bar.
All else is borrowed from your 4X5 Handy. You are welcome to buy a 4X5 Handy from me as well. Sinar does not make anything quite like this. If you shoot a Sinar, this is the head to have. It was designed specifically for the Norma.
The 4th one is removable. The projections front and rear mate with slots in the bottom of Sinar rail clamps in order to align the rails with the tilt. The head tilts fore and aft; sideways tilt is accomplished by tilting the camera on the rail. The 2 small projections are guides that position the rail clamp so the camera screw is aligned with the rail clamp socket. There is a secondary tightening screw surrounding the camera screw that makes it easy to solidly tighten down the camera The locking lever is adjustable by 60 degree increments.
These images are of a head that was sold. I now have one in stock; see it just below. Towards the end of the Sinar Norma production some Sinar Norma equipment was finished in black. I looked it over carefully. It was originally finished in black. The 2 Sinar Norma auxilliary standards are black and olive drab. Black Norma cameras were made. This is an original tightening disk.
The original is in perfect operating condition and cosmetically clean. I copied such an assembly made by Sinar, and added a Sinar washer from a P assembly.
The screw is stainless steel. The disk is aluminum. The tightening disk is needed for use with Norma cameras. The P camera screw is listed below. Sinar P cameras do not require a tightening screw because of the "flip lock" screw on the P rail clamp. May be used on some other tripod heads. This tripod is quite sturdy enough for use with 4X5 or 8X10 Sinar cameras or equivalent. Norma versions like those illustrated in the Sinar illustrations also available--listed earlier on this page.
Because it screws down from the top of the Sinar rail clamp, the rail clamp is sandwiched between the adaptor and the tripod--providing much greater holding power than the cheap ones that screw in from the bottom. This is the only such socket adapter that I would trust to hold my Sinar. I manufacture ones that I like better. There are slots along the mounting plate that allow you to move your rail clamps between 9 and 12" on center.
There are small slots on the bottom side of the mounting plate that engage the Sinar tripod head locating pins--keeping your camera aligned and preventing it from turning on the tripod head. These 2X mounting plates have now been black anodized. He earned a degree in photography as well as in photo commerce.
Carl Koch was unsatisfied with the then large format cameras. The camera had to adapt quickly and precisely to the changing needs of the photographer. In Carl Koch applied for a patent for the Sinar camera. The outstanding feature of this camera, and this is still true today, is the remarkable expansion it brought to the capabilities of the professional large format camera. This was achieved by means of standardized components carefully designed to form a highly versatile building block system.
Looking at the Sinar System today, one can still tell that its first cameras were built by watchmakers. We promise to never spam you, and just use your email address to identify you as a valid customer.
