Re: Linhof Serial Numbers
Thanks Bob. Can you re-check 2057 ? 1956 makes it a later model and it is a very early style with the button on top and SN in the bed (RF was removed :mad:)... perhaps 1946?

Ah Excellent! thanks!!! so 2057 is one of the very early III's
16061 of 1960 has no RF but is at the opposite end.
I have heard both 1956 and 1957 given as the end of production date of the III.
I assume this is because it coincides with the introduction of the IV in late 56' but it would seem that production (at least of the no RF models) continued until the end of the decade.
Or did production stop in 56'/57' but sales of inventory continued until 1960?

You would have to ask them. I was never involved with the lll.

Thanks Bob, I will reach out to them. When you started working for/with Linhof what was the hot new camera at that time?
I do have a copy of the Camera Story but it is a first printing, and not much on the III and earlier I'm afraid.
Even though the III is before your time you are likely still the most knowledgable source of info on it around these parts.

I started with LInhof in 1980 so the Master Technika was the current model.
Re: Linhof Serial Numbers
That must have been a fun time... Master Technika was very much King of the Jungle at that time!
