Interchangeable groundglasses for different picture formats Lateral and horizontal shifts at the rear standard. Micro drives for correction of image section. Horizontal tilting at the lens and the rear standard. Micro drives to control the depth-of-field according to Scheimpflug. Optical bench with two parallel rails for instant bellows extension. Focusing with depth-of-field optimizer plus safety locking. A photographer who wants to be successful in these days requires optimum software his creativity and optimum hardware his equipment. Linhof has again improved their camera system M 679cs without changing the complete compatibility. With this compact view camera system every advanced photographer is free to select either analogue or digital imaging. CCD-chip backs for fast shooting, scan backs for utmost resolution or rollfilm for classic photo- graphy. Without any complicated modifications the photographer can change from digital to analogue imaging. All commonly used digital backs and medium format rollfilm backs for 6x6 to 6x9 cm can be adapted without any problem. The Linhof M 679cs was designed to meet all requirements of applied photography. The system includes all controlling elements for the professional photographer, control of perspective, con- Normal bellows interchangeable against wide angle bellows.

The Linhof system is designed to meet all future requirements. The latest innovations in digital backs, lenses and shutters have already been integrated. The system will accept further modules and accessories without the need of modifications. The integrated panorama bench holder now features a stepless lateral levelling of 10 degrees each side by means of self-aligning micro drives. Practically all photographic problems can now be solved without the need of an additional tripod head. Even the smallest correction of the image composition can easily be handled with this integrated panorama bench holder. The Linhof M 679cs offers now micro drives for lateral and horizontal shifts at the lens standard. The result: perspective controls are decisively facilitated. Perspective control, avoiding converging lines, use of Scheimpflug rule for depth-of-field control, Anti Scheimflug for obtaining extreme un-sharpness: Images which can only be produced by using a professional view camera system. This is the chance for the photographer to express his own way of creating images. PHOTOGRAPHY: WOLFF / DRISCHEL, AMETSBICHLER / MELLENTHIN 2

The base of the camera is an optical bench with two parallel rails. Although extremely compact, the camera offers a maximum extension of 326 mm (12.8") for long focal lengths. Lenses from 24 mm wide-angle to 250 mm tele are usable. The wide angle bellows are double-folded permitting extreme extensions. The bellows are used for focal lengths of 24 90 mm. The picture shows a shifted camera. The basic position of the camera. Camera shown in compact position: Measurements only 170 x 153 x 294 mm (6.7 x 6.0 x 11.6"). Lens and rear standard are steplessly moved in tilt segments around the vertical and horizontal axis for yaw-free camera movements. The camera remains stable at any displacement. Zero click stops for practically all adjustments permit fast findings of basic positions.

The basic compendium consists of a small flexible selfsupporting bellows and is supplied complete with filterholder. A compendium ensures the best possible exposures with flare-free definition, contrast and colour saturation. The M 679 professional compendium consists of the filterholder, a normal bellows and the vignetting mask holder and is supplied as a complete unit. This compendium is centered automatically. It is inserted into the optical bench and is therefore always in the optical axis. For special effects etc. vignetting blades are available.

VIEWING VIA MONITOR A combination of precision adapters is the link of the Linhof M 679cs with the digital back. When controlling via monitor the new Universal Adapter code 001697 will be required. Now the photographer can work with digital backs of either Hasselblad V, H1, Mamiya 645 AF/AFD or Contax 645 using if required in parallel the Linhof M 679 as an adjustable view camera for applied photography. VIEWING VIA GROUNDGLASS For digital photography with professional displacements via groundglass control we recommend the Linhof Rapid Change Adapter Slide which is now also offered as Universal Adapter Slide with additional Adapter plates. This slide permits the quick and easy move from composition to exposure. The digital back and the Universal Adapter Slide with corresponding Adapter plate are perfectly linked by a safety locking system with either Hasselblad H1, Hasselblad V, Mamiya 645 AF/AFD or Contax 645. CHIP SIZE 24x36 mm We offer 2 alternatives for different chip sizes relating to the exposure area: For sensor size 24x36 mm you will require our Universal Adapter Slide code 002765 with corresponding groundglass code 021837. Thanks to integrated stops (white marks) stitching is made possible: 3 exposures will enlarge the exposure area to 36x63 mm. CHIP SIZE 37x37 mm For larger chip formats of 37x37 and 37x49 mm the Universal Adapter Slide code 002766 is available. Chip format 37x37 mm with groundglass code 021840 can be enlarged by stitching (2 exposures) reaching a total format of 37x71 mm.
