There is a LB for the Technika that will fit a Copal 3 shutter.... but it is
about the practical limit......

The big difference is that the modern lens weighs a ton.... and the front
standard of your Linhof......is not the most strong structure to handle the
weight of a 240mm Plasmat lens.....

The Zeiss lens is a Tessar, small and light ( 4 Element... )....

Think out the weight issues.... you don;t want your front standard to be
hard to adjust or move all the time nor to have to torque down the locks
with a pair of pliers!
