Hello and nice to be here with so many fine photographers.
I could use some help. I just purchased a used Linhof Technica Master (Yes!) but it appears the lens board tilt doesn't work. I am checking if I am doing something wrong.
To tilt the lens board, knob #1 should be loosened so that it is not locked down, then push in knob #3 and the lens board should release so that it can tilt forward or backward. When I push in knob #3, the lens board won't budge, the knob pushes in (towards the lens) but the board still won't move at all.
Am I doing it wrong? Every other adjustment on the camera is working fine.
Also, if it needs repair, is Nippon Photoclinic the place to contact for repair?
Thanks in advance and I look forward to sharing and learning tips on large format photography.
