I have Linhof 4x5 back with 6x9 reducing back and planning to use it on Sinar F2.
DIY adapter is on my mind but maybe there is original one?
Anyone has experience merging Sinar with Linhof?

Sinar 4x5 has an industry standard graflok back..
Linhof made Super Rollex backs in both 4x5 graflok and priority Linhof 2x3_6x9 rotary backs which are specific to Linhof..
Solution to this is to use the 4x5 graflok version of the Linhof Super Rollex back.. done.
There is little to no rational reason to convert the Sinar back to using the Linhof special version of the Super Rollex.. and these versions are rare, difficult to obtain. Vast majority of these Linhof Super Rollex backs made and currently on the used market are for 4x5 graflok.

Thanks, Embdude, this is exact part I’m looking for.
Bernice, I’ve must be more specific, my Linhof back is for 6.5 x 9, 2 1/4 x 3 1/4 sheet film.
Sinar lens board with proper hole will go for Linhof 6.5x9 back base for starters.
Outer dimension is 16x16 cm

Looks like a Linhof 2x3_6x9 rotary back. If yes, the frame can be mounted to a standard Sinar lens board then installed on a Sinar 4x5 frame.. Some machine shop time required.
I'm guessing this is to use the Sinar with Linhof 2x3_6x9 super rollex and other Linhof accessories..
Curious idea, have the same, might give this a try at some point if there is enough motivation to experiment and tinker.

[QUOTE=Vaidotas;1671150]Outer dimension is 16x16
The square part (with the 6x6 quick release circle inside it) is attached to the 4x5 back board with 4 screws. remove them (and keep track of any shims) and screw it into a Sinar board... done!
Already done.
The solution was so simple but overlooked.
Thanks a lot!

Sinar DB lensboard as a base, almost straight fit, I need to enlarge a bit the hole.
