Question Sinar Norma front-standard.

On my Sinar Norma Camera, there is a scale `missing` which should show how much swing has been applied, it is otherwise in fine condition, but the missing scale `bothers` me.
Does anyone know where I might be able to buy a spare scale or would I be better off looking out for a complete front Norma standard? I have found an image on the web to show what I am trying to describe, which is the smaller scale that shows 0 to 30 degrees each way.

There's a bloke on that big auction site that sells standards, rears,
all kinds of Sinar parts. Search and ....

Can you copy the one from the other standard on tape and apply it to
the standard without the scale and then see how much you actually use
it? Norma stuff is plentiful on the internet, but having to buy an
entire standard may be overkill.


That's a pretty good idea. Another approach would be to put an accurate
level on the standard and mark your own tape. I have an electronic level
that can zero to absolute level, 90 degrees, or anthing else. It reads
out in micro-degrees. Not expensive.

It`s more for cosmetic reasons than actual need, it just looks odd with the scale missing. Any way, it doesn`t matter.
