Linhof Serial Numbers

Hey, Bob. I just bought a camera sold as a Tech V, and can't figure out how to rotate the back -- it does not seem to be the required release button. Can you tell me year and make of 2111196 and whether the back is supposed to rotate? Thanks for your help. Bill

1965 V and the back rotates. As it is 55 years old it probably needs a proper service.

Thanks, Bob. This one is missing both the latches for the back movement and the button for back rotation. It's going back. Thanks again. Bill

Might be a good camera if you let Bill at Precision do a CLA on it. Check with him before returning it.
