Most people use a live capture back like a Phaseone.
Putting digital live capture backs on a Linhof Technika from the IV to the Master and the 2000 and 3000 is very easy. You can use the 001693 Linhof DigiAdapter to put any Hasselblad V compatible digital back on the camera. Or you can use the new Linhof sliding and shift back on any IV, V, old Master or 3000 cameras directly. For later Master Technika and the 2000 cameras a small modification to the camera is necessary. This adapter takes adapters that accept Hasselblad V, Hasselblad H, Contax 645 or Mamiya 645 Af digital backs.
Lastly your lenses were designed for film, not digital. For the optimal results from a digital back you would need digital lenses. FotoCare Ltd. in NYC can guide you with the adaptation to digital.
