Hi,

I'm in the processing of purchasing my dream view camera, a 6x9 Technikardan, that gives me excellent movements as well as accommodating my laziness in capturing/processing (rollfilm vs. sheetfilm) as well as my lust to have as compact a system as possible. Even came with a lens... but no rollfilm back.

http://www.ebay.de/itm/LINHOF-TECHNIKARDAN-6X9-SYMMAR-S-5-6-100-/251074416927?pt=DE_Foto_Camcorder_Analogkameras&hash=item3a7533911f#ht_2037wt_1350

When I look at the various Super Rollex backs, I'm confused, and couldn't find a definitive answer here: does every Super Rollex 6x9 work on a Technikardan, including the old tan coloured ones? Or just the really expensive black ones!? Some are going for a bit over $100 on ebay while some are going for around $700.

I am guessing that I don't have to go for a Super Rollex with a 4x5 back on it, but I'd like to know for sure before I buy one!

Please tell me which ones to avoid, and which ones to go for.

Thanks,
Andre

you'll want the mini-graflok(my name, not sure on technical term) backs, like this one:

or this one:

Really? I thought I'd read previously that only Super/Rapid Rollex backs work on TKs.

Anyway, if this is the case, then that's good... cheaper than I had bargained for.

Best,
A
