International/Graflok holders have identical outer dimensions for 4x5" and 9x12cm (and there are plenty of matching roll film holders about as well). If your camera has some other back attached (earlier Technikas sometimes were fitted with Millionfalz backs, and some have odd custom attachments), you would have to get hold of a International back.

For mid to late models, you can still get replacement parts from Linhof, at a price. And for most models, International backs show up quite frequently on ebay and in used camera stores.

You can also buy 9x12 film from freestyle (efke B&W 100 only, alas).
