Hi,
as mentioned in the thread over here https://www.getdpi.com/forum/large-format-cameras/68916-lf-field-pricing.html
I ordered a brand new Linhof Master Technika 3000 back in June for pickup at the factory.
So i took a day off yesterday and after a three hour drive to Munich I was standing in front of the Linhof factory.
The building itself itself is quite old (1935) and got rebuild after WWII, the interior is what we call retro today, it really feels like
you're going back in time, but in a nice and charming way.
One employee of Linhof handed over my MT3000 and explained every detail of it, he spend quite some time with me going through all possible adjustments, what to take care of with various lenses etc. pretty much everything to be considered operating the MT. Then he send me for a walk and lunch while he took my existing gear for service (all for free, Kardan GT adjustments, lens board re-mounting, ball head cleaning etc.)
All in all a beautiful day at the factory. If you live nearby Munich and are interested in LF I can highly recommend a visit.
Attached are few images so you get some impression, of course I was not allowed to take pictures in manufacturing itself.
Next weekend is secured for sure, can't wait to load sheet film and take this beauty out in the field.
Best Regards,
Ralf
