kinesisphotogear Posted November 1, 2002 Share Posted November 1, 2002 I have inherited a Linhof Technika 4x5 camera and want to know the value, model number and approx. manuf. date. Can you help me? <A HREF="http://www.kinesisgear.com/sale.html"> Pix on this page.</A> I shoot Sinar and have no need for a rail camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard_boulware Posted November 1, 2002 Share Posted November 1, 2002 Looks to me like a Technika III. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffrey_scott Posted November 1, 2002 Share Posted November 1, 2002 Yes it is a Technika III, an older one than the version I had. Mine was from 1956 and had the current style of bed that is multi-faceted and had two focusing knobs, not one like the camera in the photo.

kinesisphotogear Posted November 2, 2002 Author Share Posted November 2, 2002 Any suggestions on resale value? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffrey_scott Posted November 2, 2002 Share Posted November 2, 2002 My guess would be around $350.00 to $600.00 based on my later version. I bought my Tech III for $550.00 with four lensboards and some accesories including a sports finder(both parts), and some cams and extra knobs for the tilt/swing back. It was in good shape but I did take it apart and cleaned it up and re-dyed some of the leather. That was in 1993. When I sold it last December it went for $900.00 including a new original Linhof bellows and a Beattie Intenscreen and all the extra bits that I had for it. Just my $0.02 worth.
