Does anyone have experience using this Linhof head (p/n 3664) for 4x5? (see http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/cont...goryNavigation for a pic and description).
The weight is right, and with less overslung mass, it would appear to be more stable than a ball head (as long as you can live with the limited (15 deg) movement, which I don't feel to be a disadvantage). Since it looks so good on paper, I'm curious why I don't know of anyone using them. Are there disadvantages in use, or is it just expensive?
I should also mention that I have a similar head for my 5x7 Kardan Master L, but it's jammed, and in any case is has a permanently-mounted rail clamp for that rail, so I couldn't try that with a 4x5 anyway. In case Bob is reading this, can Marflex repair this head (I assume the worn parts are not specific to the Kardan Master L)?
Thank you.
