The recessed lensboard is priced separately. The adapter accepts flat or recessed Technica lensboards, but will not accept #3 or larger shutters.

For $100 I will supply bellows material cut to size for 4X5 bag bellows. You may use the frames for making your own wideangle bellows I will give you instructions with purchase. The bellows are shot, but there is enough left to use as a pattern for the bellows maker. Best to consider it a basic rail with no possibility of adding extension or end caps. I do not know if the coupler works with the Kardan Color 45s extension rail. So the coupler is useless for use with the Bi.
The coupler has the correct diameter, but does not have the correct pitch to mate with the Bi extension rail.
The standards move easily along the rail. Linhof Bi or Kardan Color 45s basic rail, 320mm overall length-not including the end coupler, slighly less than 34mm diameter. $250 with the above Bi camera, $300 separately. Uncommonly available in any condition and rare in this Mint condition. A through threaded rod is attached to the Linhof labeled revolving black end cap.
Linhof Bi or Kardan Color 45s extension rail, 335mm overall length, slighly less than 34mm diameter. The plain ground glass has a small crosshair or "+" in the middle. 3 of the bubble levels are no good one bubble level is like new. The fold out leather in the fold-up focusing hood (which is almost always deteriorated) has been replaced with extremely strong, light tight bellows material. Available with camera are extension rails, bag bellows and lensboards listed below. Also note that the bellows are longer than the rail, and with the Bi-axial tilt you may take advantage of those longer bellows. Look closely at the bellows and you will see that there are 3 interior strips, or stiffeners, along each edge of each fold-which provides greater flexibility. It also has the original vintage leather bellows in great condition no bellows are superior to these. This is better than most Bi's because it has chrome knobs instead of painted knobs-that the paint is always worn off of. The Linhof Bi-axial camera has base tilts and axis tilts. The Norma has only base tilts.and not everyone is in love with base tilts. Those are the main differences among the rangefinder Technikas.4X5 Linhof Bi: The Bi camera had to be a great camera because it was designed to compete with the Sinar Norma. The MT has a flap on top, which gives you a little extra rise for lenses in the 72-90mm range, provided they have enough coverage to use that rise (i.e., the most recent modern lenses). The V and MT have a pump lever, which is easier to reach with wide lenses. Individual repair persons like Richard Ritter can make cams for a Tech III. If you want your own lens cammed for a IV/V/MT, you can send it to Linhof service, and you should send the body in at the same time to have the rangefinder checked and the infinity stops and scales mounted, even though the cam doesn't need to be matched to the body for a V or MT. The V and Master Tech have a zeroed groundglass, so cams are interchangeable between V and MT bodies, but this is not advantageous as one would think, because there are few used lenses out there with cams together with the lens. The III and IV require that cams be ground for a specific body and lens. The III uses a different style of cam from later versions. You might still need to have it calibrated, but you'll have the cams, which are ground individually for specific lenses and serial number matched. If you want to use the rangefinder, try to find a kit with three cammed lenses.
