Linhof 'Baby' Technika, how old is it?

[Henry Carter]

RE: Linhof Super Technika 6X9 cm camera (latest version), serial number A781064. When was this camera manufactured?

Thanks for any information.

Henry,

There is no latest version as Linhof discontinued the series. The last 11 cameras were made last year.

Thanks Bob,

'Latest version' should be interpreted as the last incarnation of a now discontinued camera (i.e. it is from the 1980's or 90's, not the 50's or 60's).

Can you tell from the serial number when it was manufactured?

According to Linhof (Munich) factory records, this camera was manufactured in 1998.
