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 per-
mitting 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.
AMENDMENTS FOR OPERATING MASTER TECHNIKA CLASSIC AND 3000
WIDE ANGLE FOCUSING TRACK OF THE MASTER TECHNIKA 3000
The built-in wide angle focusing track can now comfortably be operated by a
turning knob outside the camera body.
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.
Operating position
1. Open the camera. Let the drop bed down until the bed strut clicks into the
notch required. The new facility is the fourth notch permitting a further
drop of the baseboard for avoiding vignetting when taking vertical images.
2. Release clamping lever (under the focusing knob) for unlocking the wide
angle focusing track. Front position = locked, rear position = unlocked.
3. Move the wide angle focusing track with the turning knob – the start posi-
tion disc automatically clicks into the infinity mark.Turn back the focusing
track to stop position by with the turning knob.
4. Fold-up infinity stops if placed on the wide angle focusing track. Pull-out
lens standard with the pull-out grips (11) until infinity stops. Taking posi-
tion for focusing to infinity is given.
The mounting of the infinity stops to be adjusted with the corresponding
lens should be done in the Munich factory or by an authorized Linhof
service.
5. Focusing of shorter distances than above is always handled with ground-
glass control.
Closing the camera
Before closing the camera remove the lens and follow this procedure:
1. Pull-out the wide angle focusing track with the focusing knob. Turn the
starting position disc in the direction of the arrow until stop and press
the spring-loaded disc whilst returning with the aid of the focusing knob

2. Push-back the lens standard with the aid of the grips (11) until stop.
Press both drop bed struts (17) and close the baseboard (see page 9).
