I know the overall story but wonder if anyone has the details. A posted this question in the Linhof Facebook group as well (if I get an answer there I will include it below)
In 1995 Linhof released a new 4x5 Technika the Master Technika 2000 EMS. The EMS was an electronic rangefinder. The catalog for 1995 also shows the MT2000 available without the EMS or a RF.
The first mention I can find of the MT Classic is the 2002 catalog which also lists the MT2000 but no longer has the EMS. (the EMS was last in the 2001 catalog)
So my question is was the MT (with traditional side mounted RF) discontinued in 1995 and then later reintroduced in 2002 as the MT Classic with the demise of the EMS... or was it continusly available?
If it was continuously available from 1995-2002 than at what time did it pick up the MT Classic name? Right from the beginning or later on?
