Toyo lenshood compatible with Linhof Technika?

[pjotr]

Hi,

other than the title might suggest, I actually have a Linhof lenshood for the Technika that attaches to the front standard via two pins that go into holes there.

As I now have a chance to get a Toyo 810M camera, I saw pictures of the Toyo lenshood, it also has those two pins. Does anybody know, if this fits the Technika, or vice versa?

It would be nice to be able to use the Linhof lenshood on both cameras. If it doesn't fit, maybe there is a way to attach the Linhof one to the cold shoe that is on the front standard of the Toyo 810M?

Thank you,
pjotr

I don't think the pitch of the pins is the same.

I think they look the same from afar, but in reality, the hood does not fit the Linhof front standard.

I ended up getting a front-mounted sports frame and attaching some thin plastic sheet that i can move around on the frame to give me a shade.
