    Linhof "pre-Technika" Cameras?

    Hello,

    i can find very few information about early Linhof cameras (before 1934 Technika came)
    Has anyone some information or such cameras. Linhof homepage only shows one early 1911 Camera a a stereo camera...

    I am trying to identify a 13000 Serial No camera, metal body, but no back movements.

    Had all early technikas back movement, seen at the 4 screws at the back, or were there aome cheaper models in the 1930s?

    maybe someone has some info...

    Re: Linhof "pre-Technika" Cameras?

    btw, what are signs for a early Technika or a pre-Technika, e.g. labelling, special features introduced mit the technika I...

    is it rght that a Camera with valentin linhof label is pre 1929, as he died then and the company go to Nikolaus Karpf, the inventor of the technika...?

    and were the technikas I/II sold body only or including a lens and shutter, as in postwar technikas?

    And, last question, you can buy a linhof history book from linhof, does anyone know if it also covers the early years in detail?

    Some Pictures of the camera I try to identify:

    Ser 133xx
    Lens is a Heliar 1931/32, the shutter is 1920, shutter and lens are not "original", obviously...

    Maybe you have an Idea what model it is? Maybe a Linhof Standard from the early/mid-30s?
