There is a 4x5 Leica copy camera on ebay (#162259706) atm, does anybody know
anything about it?  Would it be possible (easily) to adapt it for
landscape/portrait use, i.e. pull off the copy stand and stick it on a
tripod? Its advertised as having a Linhof Super Technica back, the ground
glass screen is at 90 degrees to the back so I'm assuming it has a flip up
mirror inside?  It has a built in shutter but no lens, any ideas what lenses
it would take (for landscape).  How old? And finally what's it worth in your
opinion?

I'd love to have a go at LF and was even considering building a 10x8 camera
to play around with, ddn't realise Leica had made any LF cameras.

Thanks Lugnuts
