Sinar Vario - medium format for 4x5 large format - is it worth buying?

If you want to take medium format photos with a GF camera, you are spoiled for choice. In this video I show you one possibility: The Sinar Vario roll film cassette. Advantages and disadvantages of this solution, through the details to the conclusion.
ADDENDUM: The variants Zoom and Zoom2 offer the format change during the photo session, because they are a further development of the Vario-Varainte. The Vario adapter was not yet able to do this.

Die Zoom und Zoom 2 sind Weiterentwicklungen der Vario, Gruss aus dem Sinarland, Armin

bin kein Sinarnutzer, hab eine Graflex 4x5. Um was ich dich beneide ist die Formatmaske zum einstellen des MF Formats. Hab auch einen MF aufsatz für die Graflex aber da muss ich schätzen was ich auf dem MF Film belichte. Müsste wohl eine Maske basteln mit Karton.

Heindrich - another question: the Vario is 25mm thick (According to Google) - does the film back on the camera open wide enough to accept the Vario without putting stress on the springs? Thanks. (I purchased a Vario on eBay for my Linhof Technika but it's not here yet.)

Yes it does. It is designed for that purpose 😊.

Heindrich - can I ask which Sinar camera you are using here? Thanks.
