Found: Linhof copy stand mount

Post by Himself »

I have the column and the focusing mechanism but I don't have the mount. I DIYed a contraption but I'm not happy with it.
Here is how it looks

Let me know if you have something like that for sale.

HP Marketing distributes Linhof. We asked our contact there for you. His reply so far is, "Have asked the factory and will let you know. It is several decades old. My last picture of it in a catalog is from the 1960's."

So, we're hopeful but not confident.

Depending on the diameter of the tube you might find something suitable in a hardware store with a well stocked plumbing section.

It will be easy to make for a machinist, even an amateur one: An alluminium cube with a hole for the rod, a locking bolt and four long mounting holes and bolts, and surely more economical than buying it from Linhof.

Thank you Henry!
I tried to email HP Marketing the division for Linhof and Wista parts but their email address is not good.If you find it let me know about the costs involved please.

@Pau: I didn't find anyone with a lathe or cnc around the house.I do have a budget for the mount. Hopefully it will be enough.

Here is my DIY

Finally I received the mount last week.
Linhof's distributor in Canada is Blazes Photographic. It's been sent to them and Mike Boylan sent it to me.
Well, I have a $200 hole in my wallet but I feel good.
