NOT SURE WHERE TO START?
Everything you need to get your Linhof Technika 4x5 up and running.
Harness the power of your smartphone to add digital focus assist, instant previews, and digital record keeping while shooting 4x5 sheet film, or capture digital stills and video with the look and feel of vintage 4x5 photography.
Kit Includes:
- ObscuraFlex™ Adapter
- Twist-Lock Phone Cradle
- ObscuraFlex™ Focusing Screen (or none if you want to use your own glass)
- Cold-shoe attachment to prevent strain and light leaks.
Designed to fit most Linhof Technika 4x5 models 1946-2006.
The adapter body comes with a cold-shoe attachment and velcro strip to prevent the combined weight of the adapter and phone from putting strain on the film-back springs and causing light leaks.

MODIFICATION REQUIRED
MODIFICATION REQUIRED
NONE: If your camera body is in good condition and has a standard pop-up hood (as pictured) then it should fit snuggly and securely without any modification to your camera. If you have any doubt, email us BEFORE YOU ORDER.
GROUND GLASS
GROUND GLASS
The adapter CAN be used with your existing ground glass, but if you intend to use the adapter to shoot digital stills or video with your 4x5 you may wish to replace your existing ground glass with one of our proprietary ObscuraFlex™ focusing screens for a more even, less grainy, and less vignetted result. See comparison pictures on this page or go here for a more detailed explanation.
PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS
PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS
Similar to shooting low ASA film, this adapter requires plenty of light to produce the best quality images. A wide open high quality 4x5 lens should function well in good light. Depending on the capabilities of specific smartphone models, good results may also be possible with high ISO settings and/or extended exposure times in less ideal lighting scenarios.
- Low light photography is not recommended.
- Flash sync photography is not currently possible.
COMPATIBILITY
COMPATIBILITY
