Bob,I inquired about a Linhof serial #15708. also stamped on the plate behind the serial # is 116.You indicated that it is a Tech 3 from the serial #.The strange thing is that it doesn't have a spring back,it has a flap held in place by a metal strap across the bottom.Pictures that I've seen of Tech 3's don't look like mine.If it's of help there is a shield in the round indentation in the plate that is football shaped with flat ends that reads LINHOF MUNCHEN.
You also have a very early III and the Technikas evolve over time. The first III looks more like a Medzin then the last III which looks more like a IV. But they are both III, both use the same orphaned lens board and both lack front tilt. All earmarks of a III.
Bob,Tony again.Since the camera has a back flap what type of film holder can be used?.
Wothout seeing a picture it is hard to tell.
Here is a back for single plate holders, "Million fold", often used with Technika II and early Technika III cameras.
The picture is taken from a Linhof brochure from the thirties.
Peter,do you know if the plate holders are available?Also I'm new to L F photography.By plate holders does it mean glass plates or do they hold film?
Tech lll version v #56512?
1956
New plate holders have not been made for decades. But the first question is what size film does your camera take? 4x5" or 9x12cm?
