Please note the following design improvements of the new Linhof Master Technika classic and Master Technika 3000: The baseboard can now be dropped with a fourth notch of the struts thus permitting vertical images without vignetting even when using extreme wide angle lenses. The accessory shoe can now easily be removed with the aid of an allen key (added to the camera) for using the tripod thread underneath permitting photography with the camera upside down. This also improves the vertical shift facilities of the camera.

WIDE ANGLE FOCUSING TRACK OF THE MASTER TECHNIKA 3000

For the extreme wide angle lenses 38, 47 and 58 only one pair of infinity stops is necessary .Each lens is supplied with an individually adjusted lensboard permitting to restrict the infinity stops to one pair only.This facilitates the quick change of the camera from closed to operating position with any of these 3 lenses.
