HI THERE,

I HAVE A DISPUTE WITH MY FRIEND REGARDING THE VALUE OF SUPER ANGULON 5.6/65 mm with LINHOF WIDE ANGLE FOCUSING DEVICE. CAN YOU PLEASE, HELP US TO DETERMINED PRICE FOR IT ?

LENS IS ABOUT 14 YEARS OLD AND CONDITION IS EXCELENT.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP IGOR

Its tough without a photo of the lens... but I would say between $600-$750

Also it depends on which version of the Wideangle Focusing Device you have. The earlier one that only works with one lens is less desirable than the later one that takes Tech 23 lensboards.

Value depends on several things. Condition, version of the lens and focus attachment, demand, etc. Your question can't be answered as you phrased it.

F5.6 65mm Super Angulons typically sell on e bay for ballpark $500. The wide angle focusing device is more difficult to estimate because they don't come up for sale all that often. I've seen a few that IIRC sold for around $400 - $500 but I don't know whether they were the newer version or not.

If your wide angle device is the newer version, and if both it and the lens are in excellent cosmetic and mechanical condition, I'd say the combination would probably sell on e bay for ball park $1,000, maybe more if a couple bidders really want the focusing device. These things are very expensive new and are very desirable for anyone with a Tech IV - Master Classic camera who wants to shoot wider than 75mm. I'd sell the lens and the focusing device separately so that people who already have a 65mm or shorter lens would bid on the focusing device alone and people who want the lens but not the focusing device would bid on the lens alone.
