THE DESIGN PRINCIPLE
The TECHNO is a compact hi-tech camera offe-
ring all practical adjustment facilities for extre-
me short to longer focal length lenses.
All currently available digital backs can be
adapted. The user is always free to select his
favourite digital system. The generous adjust-
ment facilities will also allow for three genera-
tions of chip backs.
This design is based on the needs and experien-
ces of the photographer with special emphasis
to architectural photography. This means: shift
facilities, use of wide angle lenses starting with
23 mm focal length, perfect control of vertical
orientation.
The results: 40 mm of self-aligning vertical shift
with exact parallel control. Zero clickstops
which can be engaged whenever needed.
Spirit levels at lens standard and rear standard
for precise vertical orientation.
A special wide angle bellows for extremely easy
adjustments.
The self-aligning focusing is operated via the
the camera bellows extension and not via a
helicoid system of the lens.
This permits large extensions up to 250 mm
which is a prerequisite for long focal length
lenses.
This is a camera for landscape as well as for
close-up. All operating elements are ergonomi-
cally placed and manufactured in Linhof preci-
sion quality. Scales showing millimeters and
degrees permit exact control of the adjustments.
By swinging and tilting the lens creative depth-
of-field results can be achieved.
All lenses in mechanical or electronic shutter
systems mounted on Technika lensboards can
be used.
Digital lenses adjusted to the needs of digital
imaging techniques offer optimum sharpness
and fully utilise the high resolution chip
sensors.
The rear standard is compatible with the
existing components of the Linhof M 679, such
as viewing aids, adapter systems and universal
rapid change adapter slides.
