The most expensive Linhof you can buy

[toyotadesigner]

It seems to be one of the oldest and most expensive Linhof cameras you can buy:

I think it would be a wise decision to be accompanied by a Linhof expert to check the camera before writing a cheque. Usually these cameras would be auctioned by Westlicht and not by ebay.

I would think the seller would at least turn the shutter right-side up.

[Teodor Oprean]

That seller should be banned from ebay.

Linhof factory should buy it back.

This Linhof Camera is 'Old News' and has been discussed previously...

Geez, 3 years ago he offered it for 1/10 of the amount and didn't sell it. He must have smoked some very bad stuff during the last years.

Is that thing still for sale? We have been laughing about it for years.

[Daniel Stone]

"But honey, I have it listed for sale! I'm sure we'll find a buyer soon!"

[DrTang]

yeah right

I had a very old pre-Linhof camera..probably the model Linhof used to base theirs on


I think I got around 300 smackers for it..with a lens

that is a BIG no biggie


and who collects linhofs anyway?

Cool outfit. If I was a collector of Linhof, this would be a dandy outfit. It looks to have everything that you would want in a camera outfit of this type. One of the things that makes Leica fun to collect is that there are so many devices and doodads Leitz made to go along with their cameras that there is lots of stuff to be looking for. Same with Linhof. Lots of cool stuff made by Linhof. I have a 5x7 Linhof Standard (I think. I've seen pictures of a Linhof Standard and they look the same) and I can see how its design came from this camera.

The price is insane and I don't think I have to worry about somebody buying it before I get the money together. I hope that a registered agent of the German Government delivers it to my doorstep if I have to pay that sort of shipping fee. Either that or Mr. Bob Salomon Himself. No other Linhof Person would be worth that much.
