I recently purchased a Linhof Technika V and with the help of this forum and par ticularly Bob Salomon, I have established the correct configuration for the inst allation of my ground glass / fresnel combination. My camera is about 25 years o ld. I would be interested in replacing the fresnel / ground glass combination wi th a newer Linhof Super Screen if it were a significant improvement over what I have. Failing that, is there any benefit in simply replacing a 25 year old scree n with a more current screen. The clips holding the fresnel in place seem to be spring loaded. Is it the intent to be able to quickly remove the fresnel for mor e convenient focusing? I've updated the lens and my thinking is that if I update the screen I will have a virtually current / like new camera. Any feedback will be welcome. Bob has been great. I just don't want to wear out my welcome.
Also, on page 25 of the Master Technika manual, it states that 'instructions for carrying out infinity adjustments are supplied with each lens purchased subsequ ently from Linhof'. Can anyone post or supply me with these instructions?
Does anyone know if the handstrap that comes with the Technika 2000 is available as a part for older Technikas?
