David,
the Master GTL is a very good choice for studio work. You may carry (or better transport) it in a relatively flat Linhof-case (ca. 8") which I own, but it is still heavy. I also own the 5x7...

I use the 72 XL with my Linhof 617SIII with Schneider CF. With slide film You definitely need the CF. As a lucky guy I found 3 like-new but very cheap ($ 25 each) Nikon 122mm filters and use them...
Technikarden is the quickest and Kardan GT is, though bigger, very qick too. If You work with really long lenses (up to 1200 mm) Kardan GTI (which might not available anymore) is not really quick...
If You have the old Linhof focusing bellow with the 2x loupe You can exchange the loupe. I did that and I like the two piece loupe very much.
Best regards

I promised measurements of my TK 4x5 with bellows and without lens or lens board. Here they are (a bit late, I know):
Height: 255 mm
Width: 215 mm
Depth: 102 mm

Once again without tableau:
TKs 2x3 L 125, W 165, H 210, W 2800 g, Extension...
Bob and David,
apart from scales for swing (ceterum censeo!), detents and 3-piece standards there are some more slight differences between TK and TKs. Linhof manuals and brochures provide...
A note to Mr. Salomon:
In my first thread I described the only by lens and bellows restricted movements of the Technikardan and pointed out that a 15 degree scale might not be enough in certain...
A note to Mr. Artz:
Maybe You are a lucky guy an have a special version. If You look at the Linhof website (which recently has been modified) You will see and read (in German) that the TK "s"...
I would go for the older model! It is lighter, has some more cm extension and has markings for vertikal swings that go up to 30 degrees, not only to 15 degrees, like the "s". If You need very big ...
