[LargeFormat] 5x7 Cameras - some feedback

[rstein]

Dear Ole,

     If you have the Linhof Technika 5 x 7 with the rangefinder you have to
remember that it is only part of the complete set-up. The other half of the
camera - the 5 x 7 left half  - is built to clip onto the Linstereo bracket
and provide the left half of the stereo pair. That is why it does not have
the rangefinder but does have the coupling shaft for the focussing wheel and
the toe-in control. Of course you will need the extra handgrip bracket as
well, but these are common.

    I am surprised that you find this heavy. They are commonly used by
invalids and pensioners here.
