FYI - There's no such camera as a "Linhof Master Technika III."

Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you do criticize them you'll be
a mile away and you'll have their shoes.
I think this is the camera I have. The nomenclature still is confusing to me.

I think it is also sad you are now bragging about it on the forum.

Unless Bob has a list - there is no national list. It would be another contribution from Bob if he started one!
Post the serial number and a lot of people will check.
I can't really see how this equipment ended up where it did. Linhof owners and their relatives know about "Linhofs".
I don't get how some are basically saying Michael took advantage of someone who willingly sold this stuff to him. Yes, it seems he may have paid under market value. Haven't we all gotten deals on purchases at some time or another? I'm not sure most of us outside this transaction can judge Michael too harshly.
Personally, when it happens to me (not often enough, but it does), I simply agree to the price asked. I do not tell people what it's worth or what I would have paid. But if someone is selling a $1K camera for $100, I don't try to haggle them down to $50. However, I depend on people bringing me stuff and trusting my appraisals, so if word ever got out that I did that to someone, my business would suffer.

Hey Michael (AKA 'Salt Nerd')!
'Wild-assed-guess'...
Sure... I bet!
(*You definitely sound like a 'Smart-A**' to me!)...
If you know *** REALLY *** 'Nothing' about Linhof's... How do you know that you did "Pretty Good" today??? Like they say... 'Just Asking'!
Michael, are you going to tell us 'next'...
That you 'know really nothing' about Xenotar's -- Also?

Agreed in full 110% with Ed!

Seller and buyer both walked away happy, the feel-good story of the week.
If I had no use for the gear, I'd flip it, too.
Linhof III's lens board size is different from IV, V, MASTER, 2000 and 3000.
Sometimes love just ain't enough.
