Linhof Technika II 13x18 (5x7"?) Film Holders

[timagal]

Hello, everyone

I recently acquired what I think may be a Linhof Technika II from the war times. Its serial number is 33753. Very unfortunately, it came to me without any film holders.

Could you tell me more about this camera? Would standard Linhof or Fidelity film holders be compatible with it, or was it produced before the standardization?

Thank you in advance for your answers
Regards from Finland.

Technika II, yes. Wartime, no. It was made in 1949.

Technika II, yes. Wartime, no. It was made in 1949.

Bob, where did you get this information from? According to my data, the Technika II was only manufactured between 1937–1943...

It seems that you are indeed right. The serial number in the Schneider objective points to 1948-1949. This means that Wikipedia and Camerapedia, among others, are just perpetuating mistakes.
Any idea on the film holders I can use with it? Can't wait to get some and take it out to the snow...

My information is much more accurate. It came from the Linhof factory.

OK, thank you. Do you have any idea about the film holders?

No, sorry.

Can you post pictures of the back? Originally it would have been sheet metal type (in that size probably Millionfalz), but Linhof did after-market upgrades to Graflok in later years.

Hello, Sevo. Yes, of course: here they come... Sorry about the quality, I hope they can be of help, at least.

That would be sheet metal. Plain edge as far as I can make out, which makes it Millionfalz. And a universal folding type (i.e. it will also hold Normal- and Normaldoppelfalz holders).
