    Linhof Zoom Viewfinder - hotshoe mountable?

    I've bought a Linhof Zoom Viewfinder as a bit of a present to myself and basically was wondering if they're hotshoe mountable as I'd like to set it up on my Toyo 45AX to use as a handheld, walk-around camera.

    That's all!

    Sure, mine fits in a standard hot shoe, but, the plate on the finder is about 2-1/2 times longer than the hot shoe.
    I'd check to see how long the shoe is in the Toyo.

    How will you focus the Toyo?

    Thank you! Will give it a go or find some kind of hot shoe adapter. I'll figure it out.

    As regards to focusing, I'm going to prefocus to infinity and hope there isn't anything I want to shoot that's close

    Everything you are likely to shoot is closer than infinity.

    We recently had a thread concerning the Linhof accessory shoe here.
