    The 150mm Symmar-S has a 210mm image circle. The 10x15 film requires 183mm to cover film/plate.

    So that one will work.

    Thank you for making me aware of this. My copy just arrived today. I ordered it from Lindemanns in Germany; they seemed to be the only source google turned up for me. First impression is it's a beautiful book done with the rigor one would expect from someone who did biomedical research.

    I'd also hope that he's donated a copy to the George Eastman Museum; it would be a valuable addition to their library/collection.

    I was just given a pre-war Linhof (according to Bob Salomon) in a box of old cameras. S/N 19507 . I'll post photos when I have time.

    so I will put my 2 cents to this thread. I recently bought what seems to be a late pre-II Linhof Standard with 3 lenses, most probably from 1936. serial number is 13171.

    I'm late for the party again, sorry.
    Here's my little Linhof Standard, or at least that's what I think it is. Note that the focusing scale is in feet.
    Informed replies are appreciated.

    Re: Linhof cameras before 1945

    Here is my Linhof 13x18cm that a purchased recently.
    I've told it is a Standard, but after reading this thread, it seems I have a Technika II, since it has the 4 knobs to give back movements. Is this right?

    Serial is 21308

    Stamped 44 on multiple parts, assuming it is 1944.

    I purchased to be used, after these photos were taken I modified to fit modern holders.
