Sinar Zoom & Linhof Master Technika 2000?

[Brian K]

Has anyone here used the Sinar Zoom or ZoomII with a Linhof Technika 2000 or 3000?
I know the Linhof is a graflok standardized back but the Zoom backs are very thick and have a large hump for the film reels. I am aware that the Zoom (not the zoom2) can be used with the graflok sliders but this is an inconvenient way of working with the back and I would rather slide the Zoom in like a regular film holder.

Bob Salomon has been kind enough to tell me that the Linhof uses the standardized back and all holders should fit, but it would be nice to hear from people who have used the combination in the field.

Thanks all.

Hi,

I used a MT2000 wirh a Sinar Zoom II. I had no problems with it. The only thing you have to remember is that when you pull out the RFH you best pull the screenholder a bit back so it's easier to remove the RFH and the back will not "snap" in place otherwise it can damage the screen.

Reagrds,
