Linhof Serial Numbers

[Bob Salomon]

Thanks Bob, much appreciated!

Also now have a Kardan GT 5x7 with serial #A141054 - production year?

For down the road, are replacement bellows (std. and bag) still available?

Thanks again!

Sorry, the GT is too new, I don't have those numbers. All accessories are available new.

Hi Bob,

Thanks in advance.

Hi Bob,

I would again be grateful for your knowledge of Linhof serials!

s/n 48372 Super Technika 6x9

Sold to me as III but has the single lever lock to release the back. Black leather (shows wear, as expected - looks to be original but may not be).

Many thanks again Bob - it makes even me feel young!

Really looking forward to getting to grips with it.

Hi Bob - just a quick question if I may.

Info on other websites and forums suggest the differentiator between the III and IV is the single lever release for the back.

Presume this is not so?

I guess it matters not a jot to me as I have three lenses that appear to match the rangefinder - three Linhof stamped Schneider - Kreunznach lenses (Angulon 1:6.8/65, Xenar 1:3.5/105 and Tele-Xenar 1:5.5/180) - all of which seem to rangefinder focus correctly with the GG. Interestingly only the 105 serial is engraved on the 3 way cam but all three lens serials do match the production date of the camera, but I am interested to know should I look to source additional lenses (the III has a unique lens board apparently).

Again, thanks in advance for any info.

James
