Does anyone make an adapter which will allow you to mount Technika boards on a Wisner camera ?

So I am not the only one!
I am actually having one for me made here in Stockholm. Although I have opted for the less flashy version of lacquered cherry.
It is going to be of MDF.
I haven't gotten the price yet. Let me know if you are interested or anyone else for the matter.

bromwellmarketing.com will convert any board you send them to accept Technika-sized boards. I did this with a Wehman board, it works fine. They also stock certain common sizes.

Wisner makes an adapter to use the small linhof style boards on their cameras if that's the same thing your looking for. It is a small plastic insert that stays in the camera. I have been using one on my 4x5 traditional for years.

I have a Wisner-made one which I bought through an eBay auction several years ago.

Either SK Grimes or Richard Ritter should also be able to make you one.

Just to clarify - my adapter is based on the 5.25" board that Wisner uses for his larger cameras, not the 4" board that he uses for the smaller ones.

Richard Ritter can do it. He quoted me a price of $85.00 to make a Tech adapter board from a large Wisner board. All I have to do is send him both boards, but I haven't done it yet.

Thanks one and all. After a little investigation, I found that Grimes had a metal adapter in stock, for $85.00
