Carl Hans Koch created the Sinar Norma view camera in 1947 from his garage in Switzerland. Norma does not represent a famous female or a family member but the German word for “normal.” It means “standard,” as in a basic view camera kit [source]. The Norma was in production until 1969. It is a simple, precise, elegant modular camera system that would become the worldwide benchmark for large-format monorail view camera systems. The Norma is my choice for studio work, even in the digital age. It was not always this way, as I have owned monorail cameras designed specifically for digital, but I love the classic design of the Norma and the Sinar P2. I may acquire a P2 someday, but until then, it is Norma for me.

[ LOMOGRAFLOK & SINAR NORMA w/ HASSELBLAD CF 80/2.8 + INSTAX FILMS ]
Pictured above is a Lomograflok Fuji Instax Wide 4×5 back on my Sinar Norma with a Hasselblad CF 80/2.8 lens. The Hasselblad lens is mounted via an adapter made for Linhof boards. I used a Sinar-Linhof adapter board to make it work. There is just the right amount of bellows drawn with this setup to work with the standard bellows. Fuji Instax is a better film than Polaroid, in my opinion. Polaroid film has consistency problems. Nothing is worse than spending money on a film you cannot count on. Instax is not hard to find. I order a Five Pack Bundle (5 x 20-Pack/100 sheets) from Adorama as they seem to have the best price.
