nothing so complicated, after the war they had a standards meeting and 
decided that they would have a "stop" variation on the speed dial so that 
camera's could use the EV system of exposure that is still found on 
rolliflexes ect, the reason I have read that its a multiplier of a 1/60, 60 
125 250 ect is that focal plane shutter blinds are supposed to run at a 60th 
of a second, then by halving the slit size you get this progression. blame 
leitz.
Your lens in their day were the cream of the bunch and even today would be 
snapped up. have you got the focusing mount for the sonnar, all zeiss oberk. 
lenses for linhof are gold dust. try and get yourself the old linhot "large 
format photography" book. bits often come up in studio sales and people just 
have not got a clue what they are, the filter system that fits the clamp on 
hood I still think is one of the best i have come accross. The enlarger 
adaptor that fits the back of the camera is another.
Over the years I have had a super technica with a full set of lenses, Kardan 
Colour still have a 220. But due to economic circumstances, my technica 
helped to pay for my engagement ring and marriage put constaints of spending 
on hobbies. I have allways had a love affair with linhof.

Amos
