[LargeFormat] linhof 5x7 advice needed.....

[Ole Tjugen]

The Technika III's (of all sizes) need cams individualy matched to lens and camera. The IV's do not. So if you have a III, it could be very, 
very difficult. To my knowledge Linhof can no longer make matched cams for the 5x7" Technika III's.
