Linhof Serial Numbers

[Bob Salomon]

Hello,

Anyone have any idea on when this Master Technika was produced? Serial number: 6425264

Many thanks!

After Jan. 1974 and before Dec. 1975. About the middle of that period.

Thanks very much Bob. I heard there was some Master Technika's in brown leather, very early models?

Thanks again.

Hi Bob.

I got this nice old Linhof Technika after my father, but I´m new to this and just can´t figure out what model it is.

Could you please tell me some more (model / year built / other) of Serial 140580?

Thanks in advance, and appreciate your service

Best regards Espen

Scanning through this entire thread it seems largely limited to serials for Linhof cameras.

I have questions about ages of lenses;

1. Until what years did Linhof apply Linhof branding to Schneider, Rodenstock and Zeiss lenses, respectively?

2. If Linhof branded but serial of lens is per lens fabricator, then how to distinguish?

3. What years were the newest batches of following fabricated:

- Xenotar 150/2.8
- Xenotar 135/3.5
- Xenotar 100/2.8
- Xenotar 80/2.8

- Planar 135/3.5
- Planar 100/2.8

- Heligon 95/2.8

- Technikar 95/3.5

- Technikon

4. Any other signs than serials to distinguish newer lenses from older?

Much thanks!

Regards
Anders

They still test and apply their name to the lenses that pass their test. Today that is limited to Rodestock and Schneider lenses. When they were made they also did that for Zeiss, Some Nikon and Voigtlander lenses.

2. If Linhof branded but serial of lens is per lens fabricator, then how to distinguish?

By the Linhof name on the lens.

3. What years were the newest batches of following fabricated:

- Xenotar 150/2.8
