    Can I use 4x5 film holder for Linhof Color 9x12 camera?

    Dear All:
    I am new in LF. I have Linhof Color with 9x12 cm film holders. Because the limitation of 9x12 cm sheet film, I plan to order some 4x5 inch film holders. I would like to know whether or not I can use 4x5 inch film holders for my Linhof Color 9x12.
    Thank you very much for your helps.

    Yes, it's a 9x12 / 5x4 camera with an Intyernational back so the films holders have the same outside dimensions.

    Hi, sorry to threadjack, but I really cannot find the answer anywhere else in the forum

    I recently acquired a Linhof Kardan 45 monorail camera but it did not come with a back with the ground glass. Turns out that it uses the same back as my Super Technika V 4x5, which is this one : http://www.ebay.com/itm/360746945208...84.m1438.l2649

    However, right now, I'm desperate enough to get one of these if it works: http://www.ebay.com/itm/200958366096...84.m1438.l2649

    Do any of you know if the 9x12 back will work with 4x5 holders?

    The Linhof backs are marked in metric and imperial markings, only the filmholders are different.
