Linhof Serial Numbers

[Bob Salomon]

Hi Bob, does the serial number 4741172 correspond to a 4x5'' Technika IV?

No, it would be a 74 V.

No, it would be a 74 V.

Thanks again!

Hi Bob

Hello from the netherlands.
My linhof technika with rangefinder has serial number 80371.
It belonged to the policeforce long time and is in great condition with 4 lenses and lots of original linhof accessoires (of course they bought it with gouvernement tax money )

What would be the built year?

Thanks
Best Regards
André

Hello,
I have a Linhof Technorama 617 with SN 7411175 and lens Super Angulon 90/5.6 SN 11549580 are these from same year? I have problems with mounting the lens to the camera body as the connection is not tight.

cheers

I don't understand what you are doing. The original Technorama had a fixed 90mm 5.6 Super Angulon and the camera has three accessory shoes on the top of the camera.
The Technorama 617S III is the model that accepts interchangeable lenses from 72 to 250mm mounted at the factory on special lensboards.
According to the serial number above you have a 1977 original Technorama with a fixed mount lens. If it is loose then it needs to go in for service.

Problem is that camera was without original lens first so the lens was bought afterwards. And mounting is not tight now. So you propose to go to service with it?

You have absolutely no choice. You bought a camera that does not accept interchangeable lenses. It was also designed for the much older Super Angulon then the later versions.

Oh, ok. So the lens I have Angulon 90/5.6 SN 11549580 is not even compatible with the camera I have? I will try to find a service for the camera then.
