T H E C O N C E P T :

The earth we are living on is seen

in an aspect ratio of 2 : 1.

The Cinemascope format of the

Linhof Technorama 612 corresponds

to this field of vision.

The large rollfilm format of 6x12 cm

is particularly well suited for

architectural, industrial, landscape,

urban and conceptional photogra-

phy. Supreme picture quality with

a hand held camera allowing the

photographer to capture life as it

happens.

T H E P R E - S H I F T :

So-called converging lines which

happen when shooting from the

ground are often unwanted in

architectural photography.

A firmly built-in pre-shift of the

lens of 8 mm helps in many cases

to avoid such perspective distor-

tions. This pre-shift will also offer

other benefits: The horizontal line

is displaced down thus dividing the

format ideally; 2/3 sky, 1/3 ground.

When placing the camera upside

down the image gains depth in the

foreground and the shift works

as fall instead of rise.

T H E S Y S T E M :

The Technorama 612 pc II is a

system camera. It offers now 5

interchangeable high performance

Schneider lenses starting from

extreme wide angle 58 mm to the

longer focal length of 180 mm.

The built-in dark slide system

allows lens change without the

loss of film material.

The extremely robust all metal

construction of the camera body

makes the T 612 pc II the perfect

reliable camera for high end photo-

graphy even in demanding off road

situations. The tight tolerance of the

film plane for rollfilm 120 for 6 frames

or film 220 for 12 exposures ensures

the ultimate quality from this format.

T H E P H O T O G R A P H E R S :

For all creative photographers who

aim at uncompromising and authentic

image quality even under extreme

circumstances.

5 interchangeable lenses with

individual angles of view are now

available. In addition to the proven

wide-angle lens Technorama Super

Angulon XL 5,6/58 mm four new

high performance lenses are

offered: 80 mm, 120 mm, 150 mm

and 180 mm focal length.

All lenses are equipped with

especially long dimensioned

helical mounts for precise focusing

even at close-range.

The integrated anti-shock supports

of the tubes provide an optimum

mechanical protection for the shut-

ter release system facilitating the

perfect positioning of the camera.

Technorama lenses made by

Schneider/Bad Kreuznach and

specially selected by Linhof are

totally distortion-free of optimum

quality.

Thanks to shutter speeds from 1 s

to 1/500 s the Technorama permits

hand-held photography.

Center Filter for f 58

reduces the light fall-off

towards the edges of the

picture.

The Linhof Technorama

612 pc II is not only used

for the panoramic 2 : 1

aspect ratio but also for

exciting vertical views

in surprising picture

composition.

TECHNORAMA 612 pc II

with Super-Angulon XL 5,6 / 58

The aperture scales cover a

range from f/5,6 to f/32 (58 mm)

or f/64 (all other lenses) respec-

tively. The desired range of

depth-of-field can therefore be

individually controlled even

beyond the shortest distance

limits of the lenses.

The new lenses will enlarge

the classic wide-angle photo-

graphy of 92° to unusual

panorama images with an effec-

tive tele angle of 37°.

P H O T O G R A P H Y: B A R B A R A W O L F F

The spirit level also

controls the vertical

orientation of the film

plane for avoiding

converging lines.

The Technorama 612 pc II

can also be employed to

shoot pictures by using a

predetermined portion only

and is therefore particularly

suitable for sectional enlarge-

ments from vertical images.

Architectural views without

converging lines can be

obtained by cutting out any

unwanted foreground matter

in the final picture.

The crystal clear optical viewfinders

(Albada) with brightline finder

frames for 58/120 mm, 80/150 mm

and 180 mm lenses showing the

built-in vertical shift is part of the

system camera

Linhof Technorama 612 pc II.

The reflected spirit level visible in

the finder controls the orientation

of the film plane avoiding conver-

ging lines if requested.

The effective perspective control

(pc) permits image results which

can normally only be achieved

with adjustable large format view

cameras.

Even night views can easily be

composed. The viewfinder can be

removed to aid the search for a

suitable subject.
