WTB - Internation 5x4 camera back - any make

Post by Rob Lycett » Tue Jan 09, 2007 11:05 am Etc/GMT-1+01:00

Hi all
I've got a Linhof Technika II with a 9x12 plate back. I'm going to see if I can graft a 5x4 back onto this. I've seen photos of Linhof conversion backs, so I kind of know what the issues/compromises are.

Has anybody got a half decent international back gathering dust that you'de like to sell?

I don't have what you ask for, but I have a few Linhof Technika II plate backs if you need a spare for butchering... :)

Thanks for the offer Ole. If I ruin the back I have, trying to convert it, I will contact you about a possible replacement. What sort of money do you have in mind?

Postage only. I have several of them, they came in a big box of Linhof parts which contained one or two things I really needed.

Classic ebay find - a big box of lots of stuff costs less than any one of the items. But then you're left with a box full of stuff you don't really need! After I took out the spare Linhof Color tripod mounting block, and the 13x18cm and 4x5" GG protectors, and the 11 cable releases and the plate holder adaptors for international back, there's still a LOT of stuff left :)
