Hi Bob,

 

I've just bought a Linhof Technika. It says West Germany and it's got a tan colour. The number in the horse shoe is 65171. Can you tell me what kind of camera it is and in what year it's been made.

 

 

Thank you,

Sandra

 

ps I've send a question earlier this day but I couldn't find it on this page. So now I'm trying it this way.

Hello Mr. Salomon

I recently purchased on eBay from Japan (I know, I know) a Linhof 4x5 but I cannot find a picture or any reference to it's serial number 42023 stamped in the body and on top mounting shoe. It's like a stripped down Tech III. Also it's lensboard is not a standard Linhof. The bottom bevel on camera requires the board to be inserted backwards and I had to shave off about 2mm on both sides for it to fit. 397628067_linhof-1.thumb.jpg.2bcc0890f7e2d17e5d34446c75f22f60.jpg

You have a 1953 Technika Standard Press with a Shen Ho lens board. Buy an old Linhof board.

 

This model was only made from 1950 to 54 for the American market as a stripped down camera to compete with the Graflex.

Hello Mr Salomon,

I have this number on the cold shoe, C511216, would that be the serial ? I couldn't find any other number inside/outside the camera.

I bought the Technika in Bièvres-France, and the previous owner couldn't tell me the model.. recent one apparently.

Could you help on this ?

Thanks in advance

Thomas.

Hi!

 

I have a full set for a Linhof Technika in a brown suitcase. My camera's serial number is 45262 and is written in the flash shoe. Can you please tell me which model I have? Does Linhof still make spare parts and additional equipment for this model? Is it compatible with newer models?

 

Thank you so much for your help!

Right vintage, but far less useable then the next version.

The one you are looking at is a cropping finder. At the widest focal length you have a large image, at the longest the image size becomes about the size of your small finger nail.

 

With the later version the image zooms and remains large. Also, the later one is corrected for both parallax and corrects for field size as you set the distance, for all focal lengths.
