The Aero Technika cameras are aerial cameras made by Linhof. Some of the cameras were used by several NASA/ESA space missions. The original Aero Technika was developed in 1972/73.[1] It uses 126mm rollfilm with motorized film advance. The film cassettes are for 150 exposures. A vacuum film cassette holder keeps film exactly flat in the focal plane. Interchangeable lenses with focal lengths between 90mm and 250mm can be used, according to Linhof's own site;[1] however, an outfit sold at Westlicht includes a 75 mm lens.[2] The lenses each have their own shutter.
