Hello, this is my first post, I've been doing MF for years and new to LF.
I'm looking for some help with a Linhof Finder. I got a nice one from a gentleman on APUG, it’s the Linhof Right Angle Finder and part number 002628. Before I bought it I did a search on the net and most descriptions suggested it fit Linhof 5x4 cameras. Unfortunatly it doesn’t fit my Technika III. When I remove the folding hood to fit the finder, the hinge is a different size to the folding hood.
I don’t want to return this finder and cant afford to change the Technika for the moment but I can see myself doing so sometime in the future ;)
So basically I would like some advice on any options to fit this viewer to my Tech III.
Could I replace the Folding hood and the part that holds it, basically making the Tech III back identical to the Tech IV etc?
Or are there any sort of non-destructive modifications or adapters available?
Any help greatly appreciated.
