Linhof 5x7 V

[Modell66]

Hi

I'm interested if it's possible to use a cam for the rangefinder from a Linhof Technika 4x5 V for the 5x7? Do you know a place in europe where they will make a custom cam for the 5x7. I've already asked Linhof, but they say that they support the 5x7 rangefinder no longer.
Kind regards

No, they are all different.

So do you know a place where I can get a cam for a 240mm lens?

Richard T. Ritter cuts cams for certain 4x5 models. You may want to contact him.

[Frank Petronio]

The Linhof service center for your country.

I'll call them on monday, but they have told me that they can't do me a cam by email. But I could talk to a service man.

Got the cams but not lenses that go with...

what for cams do you have? What I've heard you don't really need exactly the same lens. So do you might sell them?

You do need the lens the cam was cut for otherwise it will not focus accurately over the entire rnge of the cam. That is why Linhof cuts the cams.

and linhof dosen't cut any cams for the 5x7 anymore. So I think I have to live with that, or does Linhof USA still cut cams?

It seems like a good tech could cut cams for you. Richard Ritter might be the one to talk to.

I haven't found a guy so far who is cutting cams for the 5x7 in europe. Could you give me an advise where I could find some cams. I'm looking for a 305mm cam, 480mm cam, 110mm cam, 90 mm cam
Kind regards

You can have a cam made custom by R. Ritter; he made one for my Technika a few years back.
