The functions:

3. clamping lever for tilt (horizontal axis)

4. spirit level and angle meter for tilt (horizontal axis)

5. clamping wheel for vertical shift

6. scale in mm for vertical shift

8. scale in mm for lateral shift

9. clamping lever for swing (vertical axis)

Picture for comparison with the older version of the Sinar F2 rear standard.

 

This is a part of a Sinar F2 view camera for 4x5 film.

It has an additional clamping lever for lateral shift, same also on the front standard.

The older F2 version had also lateral shift, there was only the same clamping lever for both

swing and lateral shift (9.).

The two versions are both very good, especially for architecture with 4x5 film it's a very useful tool.

 

The photo was made with a cell phone, no other digital camera available in our household ;)
