Linhof Weitwinkelkamera 65
The Weitwinkelkamera 65 is a medium-format press camera made in small numbers[1] in the 1960s by Linhof. It has a fixed 65mm f/8 Super-Angulon in a helical focusing mount, marked in both feet and metres down to one metre, on the front of a rigid body. The shutter has speeds 1-1/500 second, plus 'B', with 'M' and 'X' synchronisation, and with a delayed action. The camera has Linhof's anatomical grip, incorporating a cable release. It has a shoe to mount a frame finder: McKeown shows an example with a simple one, which makes sense given the fixed lens; an example at Westlicht has a multi-frame finder.[2] McKeown states that the camera was available with either the Super Rollex 6x7 roll-film back (as on the example at Westlicht) or a Cine Rollex 70mm film back.
