SP45mon 4×5 Monorail View Camera

Description

Separate control of framing and focus for architecture, landscape and still-life photography. Both standards provide ±35 mm shift and rise/fall through knob-operated lead screws with a 4 mm lead. Release the locking lever before adjustment; the setting holds without locking and can also be secured. Center-axis tilt and swing are adjusted by hand, then locked. Usable angles depend on bellows, extension and clearance.

Both standards focus independently with rack drives as standard. Optional custom lead-screw focusing offers 0.04 or 0.01 mm travel per division. Blue knobs have 100 divisions per turn and folding cranks for rapid travel or direct fine adjustment. Folded cranks preserve the knob profile and knurled grip. These values describe graduations, not measured positioning accuracy.

The Graflok back includes a ground-glass panel with a Fresnel screen. Remove the back, turn it 90° and reinstall it to change image orientation. The standard 96 x 99 mm Linhof lens-board interface accepts recessed boards and conceals front-facing screws, retaining internal spring elements. Check lens coverage and clearance for the intended setup.

The camera separates into 4 modules without tools for packing and reassembly. A protective carrying case is included.

The 360 mm rail has an Arca-Swiss-compatible dovetail, one 3/8-inch and two 1/4-inch threaded holes.
