Linhof Technika Reflex Finder mirror replacement

[John McLaine]

I dropped and smashed the small half of my 4x5 Linhof Reflex Finder. I think I can do an adequate glue repair of the black plastic, but the mirror is in too many shards to get any meaningful measurements from, except thickness.

I gather it is front silvered, I haven't checked the exact thickness of the glass yet, but will do so. Can anyone please advise the correct dimensions of the mirror? Otherwise I'll estimate it.

Can anyone in Australia suggest a source for the correct type of front-silvered glass?

I guess I could get a replacement from Linhof, but I value my limbs.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Marflex normally has these in stock as replacement parts from Linhof. At the moment they are on backorder.

Marflex also points out that you need a mrror of the same thickness and the same tapered shape to work properly.

For further details you can ask Marflex by calling them at 973 808-9626.

The problem has been solved thanks to the extremely kind generosity of Leonard Metcalf. Len is a gem.

Thank you so much also to Dan and Bob for your excellent suggestions.

I'm back on track.
