Greetings.

Is there any difference in the dimensions of a lensboard for a Linhof Technika circa 1950 and one manufactured today; i.e., can I take a lensboard from 1950 and use it on a current camera?

Regards,
Duane

Duane, what size?

As often mentioned here, a Technika III 4x5" from 1950 uses other lensboards as the Technika IV 4x5" up to the Master-Technika from today. There was an adapter-board aviable to use the old boards with a new Technika. But with this adapter the infinity-stop has to re-aligned if the rangefinder is used together with matched lenses.
