I just purchased a Super Technika V (5x7) set from Europe. I haven't received it yet but have been researching my stacks of Linhof data and still come up with a few questions:
1) This camera has a leather strap in lieu of the Anatomical Grip. Upon review of my Linhof catalogs, the grip for the 5x7 appears to be indentical to the 4x5 Technika model. The model number is different however. Is this due to a longer cable release only or is the mounting hardware different?
2) I also have a 4x5 Super Technika V with several cammed lenses. Can I interchange cams between the 5x7 and 4x5 models (the rangefinders appear to be the same size)?
3) Optical viewfinders appear to be the same for different size cameras, but of course have different scales on the back (or side). Did Linhof ever make slip-on scales so a 4x5 viewfinder could be used on a 5x7 camera (or vice versa)?
Thanks for your time!
