Hey Bob,

Master Technika #6435089

Thanks for your time.

1974/5

[CHUG]

Are these Master Technika's from 74/75 still serviceable, are they built like tanks, are there any issues with these years.

Thanks again.

Mostly they are but some parts may no longer be available if they are different then later models. You have one from the second series of the camera.

You will need 2 parts.
1 the 57 to 45 adapter
2 the 45 rotating back with ground glass frame and folding focus hood

The first is expensive! The second is REALLY expensive!

It could be cheaper to just buy a used Super Technika V or a Master Technika used.

I agree with Bob: I had the luck to find one 57 to 45 adapter almost new for a good price, but to get the 45 rotating back I've bought a FrankenCamera made with one and a nice bellows and self made parts (I keep it for strange reasons). Alone it would cost more!

Excuse me Bob for the rant. The real reason to get the adapter is that you don't need to carry a second camera for a Infrared film or some color with a rollfilm adapter.

6491203 / 1980

Thank you Bob ! The preowner meanwhile supplied me with an original Linhof invoice and passport to this camera from 1989.
Is it possible that Linhof stocked these cameras for 9 years , till they were sold ? Wasn't the Technika very popular and sold very good in these days.
I rather suppose 1988 as production date - maybe an error in your list ? But anyway it is my baby and after CLA in great condition.
