Bob,

With due respect for your huge amount of knowledge about Linhof cameras I beg to disagree with your above comments on the front tilt of the Technika III. As I said before, lowering the front bed and raising the lens standard will provide you with all the tilt you will ever need. At maximum this is equivalent to a 30 per cent forward tilt, I believe. However the amount of forward tilt is not fixed at that number, as your comment appears to indicate. It can be changed continuously from 30 per cent down to zero per cent by tilting the lens standard BACK at the same time as lowering the front bed.

Although it is true that you could put the Technika on the tripod sideways and use the front swing as tilt, I find this practice, frankly speaking, to be very cumbersome , compared with the technique I just outlined above.
