robc, That is interesting, and probably what I'll do. I ordered one of the quick release nipples from Marflex in NC...told him what camera I had, and he sent the part...only trouble is that it does not fit. So I'm about done with the quick release POS. Naturally Marflex is out of town for a week.
How difficult is it to remove the contraption? I don't mind screwing in a cable, in fact I would prefer it.
The quick release fitting attaches to the lens board which needs to be drilled with two holes in the correct position. You need to use a Linhof cable release to get the correct connection the QR. I think the QR fitting should come complete with everything to connect to lens.
But again, I wouldn't bother with QR. To remove the QR fitting from the board, there are a couple of little screws on the other side whic need to be removed. Then Tape over the holes.
The Nipple from Linhof works best with the Linhof Cable Releases. Other brands have a different shaped taper.
I can confirm Bob's comment here. I have one of the Linhof Recessed boards for my Technikardan 45S (previously for my Technika IV). I have tried the nipple on my 2 Linhof cable releases and other cables. No question, it fits the Linhof cable releases much much better. Once on though the nipple and cable slips right into the location for the cable release. It is fast, sure, and works quite well.Originally Posted by Bob Salomon - HP Marketing

I think Linhof and Studio has the flexible quick release fittings here in the UK.
