Linhof Super Technika IV with bright red bellows. 1960

Been playing with a Linhof Super Technika IV lately.

Has a rangefinder with cam coupling. Cams are lens (and body, at this vintage) specific.

Anyone known the specific process Linhof uses? I assume it’s based on the focal distance curve, but how do they account for the variability of handmade?

I know this is a joke, but do you have a source on that 33%?

Not challenging. I have a Wisconsinite friend to troll.

I’ve repurposed a 120v 20a/outlet rack PDU into a workbench power strip.

$15 Craigslist find. It’s an old model but I think it’s still switched. Hopefully metered too.

I’ve not touched JavaScript in ages but thinking a homebridge plugin to control the outlets might be fun & useful.

Tue is the big day! The old saw gets an Incra TS-LS on it.

Fences are to saws like grinders are to espresso machines, right? right?

(it cost a lot more than the saw)
