Just which Linhof 2x3 has a Graflok style back.?  The 5x4 Linhof takes a
rollfilm back on a rectangular plate which is, I think, an international
standard.  All the 2x3  Linhofs that I have seen have a removable rotating
focussing back on a circular track on a plate that is the wrong size for the
5x4 cameras; this circular track accepts only the specific Linhof rollfilm
holder designed to fit the rollfilm camera and not
a Graflex back that is like an RB67 back.Philip
