Hello! New here, requesting help with camera

[Embdude]

On the 45 Master Technika the reason the sliding flap buttons at the top have been modified is to allow proper fit of the Technika-Flex reflex housing. The Technika-Flex unit came out during Technika IV production (1956-1963) and ended sometime prior to the Master Technika production in 1972. It is not known how many Linhof made but it is pretty uncommon. This is the first one I have seen on a Master Technika. The unusual bits sticking out from under the top of the camera housing likely also have something to do with attaching the Technika-Flex housing.

I would love to see some more photos of this fantastic accessory. Also photos of the manual pages as I have not ever seen the manual!

I keep an archive of Linhof manuals and useful info to help others with their cameras.

Cheers, Chris

Thank-you for the incredibly useful information Chris.
I have a number of different catalogs, brochures, pamphlets etc. collected by my friend. When I return to my shop tomorrow I will take some photos and happily share them with you.

Again, my thanks,
Doc

Hi Chris,

As promised, below you'll find the manual (it was a photocopy) for the Technika-Flex and a few groupings of the other paraphernalia in Carl's collection.

Oh wow this is excellent thanks! Some of these I have not seen before!

Here is the Linhof Library I am keeping: https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...jo?usp=sharing

I will make a PDF for the Technikaflex doc and add it when i can.

I suggest you keep the studio stand for a bit. It will be very helpful to set the cameras up on it and learn how to use them on such a stable platform. You can also keep them stored on the stand while you play with them and get to know them rather than having to keep packing them up. The Linhof will work well with your tripod but i think the Tachihara will not be stable on it.

Hi Chris,

I believe the bulk of these are booklets of sorts so feel free to let me know what is new and I'd be happy to do a scan for you and get them to you. Some of them are a number of pages in length.

Thanks Doc, I have 4 of them in the "Linhof Library" but the rest are all new to me.




I would be grateful for scans of any that I do not have! Start with the Technar one please!

Added the Technika Flex manual to the Library.
