I see Linhof has finally posted a visual guide with images and dates for Linhof cameras. Welcome to the Internet!

Not a complete breakdown but a good step in the right direction.

I remain a big fan of Linhof history.

How about 2471131? Thanks in advance! Does anyone know if/why they switched from a chrome to a black front standard on the 5x7?

1972, all Kardans, Technoramas, TK, etc. cameras are finished in the black finish, it is very rugged and is much less expensive to apply and to finish then the chrome finished pieces.

You will need 2 parts.
1 the 57 to 45 adapter
2 the 45 rotating back with ground glass frame and folding focus hood

The first is expensive! The second is REALLY expensive!

It could be cheaper to just buy a used Super Technika V or a Master Technika used.
