m.lehanka Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Hello Bob, thank You is #6476098 a Master Technika V ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob_salomon Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Hello Bob, thank You is #6476098 a Master Technika V ? No. There is no Master Technika V. There was the V which was discontinued and replaced by the Master Technika. You have a Master Technika, albeit an early one. The latest version of your camera is the Master Technika Classic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m.lehanka Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Hello Bob, then the sign "100 Jahre Linhof 1987" does not fit to the age af the camera? Is it a fake or did Linhof also use older cameras for that series? Thank You in advance, Marko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marc_pagani1 Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Hi Bob, wondering if you can tell me more about B551886. I know it’s a Master Technika, but is it a classic or a 2000? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marc_pagani1 Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 (edited) If it has a rangefinder it is the Classic. Thanks so much...and that's just it...It does not have a rangefinder. The seller on ebay is calling it a Classic. Could it be a Classic that was sold without a rangefinder?

bob_salomon Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 No, it’s a Classic which has had its rangefinder stripped off. If it was a 2000 then there would be a wide angle focusing system inside the body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bob_salomon Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 That’s what I assumed. Thanks so much. The 2000 was designed to take an add on accessory IR rangefinder/multi focus finder that went across the entire top of the camera. That meant that on the 2000 the locking knobs for the back extension and the strap lugs were moved to the sides of the body and were not on the top. The finder system proved to not function as designed and was recalled after a year or so. Some might still be in the field but unlike the mechanical cams the 2000 system required a PC computer running a very old Windows OS and could only have the cramming program on it. So any still left are incapable of being programmed today or for the past decade or more. To use the finder on the camera there was an IR receptor that fit to the front of the top body housing and protruded through a slot in the top that placed it into the camera housing. A piece of the body covering had to be removed to access the slot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I can have just 30 seconds more of you time, I have two other hopefully easy to answer questions. I am considering buying the Classic (photos I posted two days ago). 1. If I’m using a 75 mm Nikkor 4.5 lens, will I be able to use downward front tilt on this camera with the bed Dropped w/no bed in the image? If not, is there a rear tilt option? 2. Will I need a recessed “comfort” lens board to use the 75? Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you will have front tilt forward and back with the dropped bed. Note, the Comfort board is for the Copal 0 shutter only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note, the Comfort board is for the Copal 0 shutter only. Thanks Bob. I am unable to cock the shutter using a 19mm recessed board and my 75mm Nikkor f/4.5. There is not enough clearance for the shutter cocking arm to clear the top of the inside of the recess at the top (or most of) the arc that the shutter cocking lever travels. Does the “comfort board” solve this issue? I’m surprised to not find others discussing this issue. Any solutions available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob_salomon Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Please bear in mind, Linhof did not recommend or offer any lenses other then Rodenstock, Schneider or Zeiss except for a couple of Nikon teles. All of their boards made in the past 4 or 5 decades were for Copal, Compur, Prontor Professional, Rollei and Rodenstock shutters. You may have to use a flat board, if you can get the lens to focus with it. You might also want to call Bob Watkins at Pro service in IL and ask him what he would suggest.
