Hello,

I am doing the research for the pre-war Linhof cameras. This means Technika I (34?) and II as well as the Linhof Standard (without the Technika back movements)

The Technika was invented and patented by Nikolaus Karpf in 1934.

Unfortunately all the Linhof company documents were lost in WWII, so it is difficult to gain some information.

I would like to invite all pre-1946 Linhof owners, to post here (part of) the serial number and some photos od the camera details.

I will soon get a Technika 9x12 (I oder II, dont know yet, Ser 19xxx) and will then share some pictures here.

Does anyone know how to distinguish Technika I from II, I did not find anything until now.?

Maybe someone has a old linhof in his shelf and can help.

Thank you very much in advance!!
