Hi there - I'm a total newbie into the field (no pun intended) of LF. A friend has lent me his Linhof Kardan Color 45 on a long loan to learn the craft of LF.
He didn't get round to showing me whether the back rotated or not (we only had time for a 30 minute whistlestop tour of the camera!) so my question is, does mine rotate?
It's a sprung back with two little rectangular notched buttons either side of the ground glass panel - one at the top right of the back, and one at the bottom right. They are both marked "off" (as far as i remember...i'm at work right this minute and the camera's at home).
I'm not sure if these are locks/stays for a rotating back, or whether they are something else.
I would ask the owner, but he's un-contactable for a few days!
