linhof 5x7 and canham 617 back

[johnielvis]

anybody know FOR SURE if the canham 617 back will fit the linhof technika iii 5x7 back (the camera that is for sale currently in classifieds)?

[johnielvis]

got my answer...and it's NO--the tech iii 5x7 will NOT accept the canham 617 back without modification.

that being said, the modification is not that difficult to do at all--but it DOES need modification.
