1996 Master Technika.

Hey Bob,
Im a little "lost" so maybe you could help me understand:

- The Master Technika 2000 started production at 1994, but Linhof continued creating the exact Master classic version that started at 1972? - which means that this 1996 version is simular to the "older" ones when it has to do with operating the camera?

- also, do u have information if this specific camera has history of fixings? or the serial number only lets you know when it was producted?

thanks,
Ben

When the 2000 and 3000 became available they simply changed the name of the rangefinder model to Master Technika Classic.
Before that it was just the Master Technika.

Meaning this camera has all the features of a Master Technika Classic, yes? Im asking because on the image of this on Ebay there was no range finder, and it confused me

The 2000 and 3000 are identical to all Master Technika cameras except they do not have a rangefinder. All movements on all MT are identical. Same rise fall, shift, front and back, same bellows, same extension.
On the 3000 the bed drops further. In place of a rangefinder on the 2000 and 3000 an internal wide angle focusing system was added to the camera. On the 2000 this WA system is focused by a lever in front of the front standard. On the 3000 that lever was replaced by a knob on the lower right side of the body.

Hi Bob

I know this is a place for Linhof serial numbers but I'm desperate. I want to replace the bellows on my Linhof Technika III Version 5, S/N 55487 and I'm asked if it's bellows with an off-center front (no clue what that means omegle tv omegle brasil chat avenue) and they also need front and rear sizes just confirm the correct model. What sizes and how do I measure these? I'm a new user of the Linhof and actually a newcomer to large format photography.
I hope I didn't upset anyone by posting this here. Any help would be much appreciated

Thanks
Alan
