Hi folks,
First, yes, I did a search -- didn't really find the 'advice' I was looking for.
OK, where we go...
Inherited my dad's 1960's era Super Technika IV. Absolute mint condition.
The back that came with it is the Linhof Rollex 6X9 Rollfilm Adapter with automatic exposure counter -- yes the one with the 'knob' rather than the 'lever'.
I'd like to put a roll of B+W (emphasis on roll) through it.
I know (now) that in order to do that, with 'modern' film, that I NEED a 4X5 'back.'
In my searches, I'm seeing 'Horseman', 'Graflex 22/23', 'Calumet', etc. etc. and to this untrained (and, yes, NooB to LF) eye, am *unable* to discern the wheat from the chaff.
This is a Linhof, so I want to put a 'decent' roll-film (4x5) back on it - one that will be reliable, not a beast to operate, etc.
If I do get a roll-film back (4x5) will I need any special additional 'adapter' to 'connect' the 4X5 roll-film back TO the Linhoff itself -- or is it just a case of 'plug and play' so to speak.
Thanx for your patience fellas ...and advice if you can spare it.
Cordially,
Gerry
