The Linhof M 679cs is an all-metal (light alloy) camera with precise scales, zero click-stops, integrated clamping systems – a real Linhof. Self-aligning micro drives with full shift and tilt for control of depth-of-field, control of perspective and image composition make for ease of workflow for the photogra-pher. The cropping correction facility is the latest positive amendment.

Lens and rear standard are steplessly moved in tilt segments around the vertical and horizontal axis for yaw-free camera move-ments. The camera remains stable at any displacement. Zero click stops for practically all adjustments permit fast findings of basic positions. The depth-of-field optimizer of the optical bench of the M 679cs with interchangeable format dial serves for exactly deter-mining the depth-of-field.

The basic compendium con-sists of a small flexible self-supporting bellows and is supplied complete with filterholder. A compendium ensures the best possible exposures with flare-free definition, contrast and colour saturation. The filter holder M 679 can also be ordered separa-tely. This accessory is mounted on the accessory shoe accepting gelatine fil-ters and up to 2 acrylic glass filters 10x10 cm (4x4") as well as M 105 x 1 screw-in filters.

The M 679 professional com-pendium consists of the filter-holder, 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 there-fore always in the optical axis. For special effects etc. vignet-ting blades are available.

The magnifier viewing adapter 8x8 can be linked to the basic lighthood.

The Fresnel screen can be moved up and down to increase the brightness of the image corners. This is a decisive advan-tage when displacing the camera.

The basic lighthood serves as a light shield permitting viewing in brighter areas.

The Polaroid back utilizes the total range of Polaroid films and shows the entire area.

The Linhof M 679 is packed in the Systainer, also to be used as camera case. A second Systai-ner can be ordered as an additio-nal accessory. A patented latch allows quick and safe linking of several Systainers which can then be transported on a single handle.

VIEWING VIA GROUNDGLASS

For digital photography with profes-sional 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 correspon-ding groundglass code 021837. Thanks to integrated stops (white marks) stitching is made possible: 3 exposures will enlarge the exposure area to 36x63 mm.
