I`ve also posted this query on Photo.net, but maybe someone can identify this item for me? Being somewhat attracted to all things Linhof, at a camera fair I recently purchased this 56x72 rollback for (I believe) a Technika 70. What confuses me is that it has no advance lever, only a small gear that would engage with the camera body. As far as I can ascertain, it fits the Press 70? How is the film advanced on these cameras? It`s a rotating style back with a serial number of 1211115. Any help would be most appreciated! Cheers.

It was for the Technika Press camera. The gear wheel you see advaced the film when the handle on the camera was twisted. It was not for or useable on the Press 70. That takes regular Technika 69 backs. No your can not be modified to fit.

Surely Bob you have it the wrong way round. The geared back is for the Press 70?

Specificaly for the Aero Press, Aero Electric and the Press 70. Sorry for any confusion.
