Sliding Back - Linhof or Kapture Group

[JonathanBenoit]

I'm looking at getting a sliding back for my Toyo VX23D. I'm specifically interested in opinions from people who have used both the Linhof sliding stitch back and the standard sliding back from Kapture Group. For those of you who aren't familiar, I've provided links... The linhof is pictured in the following review(2/3 down page). http://www.luminous-landscape.com/reviews/cameras/digital-view.shtml. The Kapture Group's is here http://kapturegroup.com/solution/three.html#sba

I'm contemplating adapting the Linhof onto a Toyo 23 board. I don't have any real need for stitching back, but I think I prefer the viewfinder on the Linhof though.

Thoughts?

if you need to stitch, then you should go for that one !

I dont know I think I just read a review for a kapture group sliding back for the arca rm3d that rotates. I think I'll have them make one for the toyo.

Thanks for replying though. I realize there are probably less than 30 photographers in the world with experience with both. Kind of a long shot post.

Yes, you are probably right I only used the Kapturegroup sliding back. I also really liked the service of Kapturegroup. I always got response and/or help within several hours of asking (depending on the time of day) and always helpful.

I used the stitching back and I recommend this one but I cannot tell you how it compares to the Linhof.
