Thats a good idea John, but was hoping to get the proper Linhof hardware to mount the handle on the camera. Talking to Rim at Nippon Photo right yesterday but have to send him a picture of the camera for identity purposes.
Thanks Eric, the camera is a 5x7 Tech, and its big and heavy, the anatomical grip would not help much, the leather strap handle is what I had in mind. Just something too hold onto while I pull it out of the case and mount on the tripod. Don't intend to do any hand held photography with it.
