[LargeFormat] super technika IV, super angulon question

[Rei Shinozuka]

the reason i am asking is that i am going to take the camera to marflex
tomorrow for somthing else, but i'd like it set up the correct way for
wide angle.  the _Linhof Guide_ states
that the bed should be dropped, and that the rangefinderand cam will work
in this position. i don't find this the case on my camera; the rangefinder
is accurate when the bed is in the normal position.
