Linhof Serial Numbers

[Kirk Keyes]

Chris -

Notice that photographs42's camera has the same knob on the front rise that I thought looked non-original - I guess it is original!

Cool camera - thanks for the tour yesterday!

I had an old Tech II 4x5" very much like the 5x7" above for a while, and it had that knob for the geared front rise, and there was also geared shift, drop bed, forward front tilt, and the Linhof technical back.

It was a very neat, compact, light field camera. The lensboards were flat, so I made a bunch of them out of modeling plywood.

Hi Bob
I have got another one for you, a late Technica III which I purchased secondhand in about 1967, it has never let me down in all these years and I would really like to know how old she is, the serial number is 59881

Much appreciated

Bob, can you post a document that would give us a wide date range. Something like Schneider does for their lenses. Would be easier than having to ask for either and ever camera anyone has.

The only one I have is on a Palm Pilot and I can't post it. But you are welcome to ask.

Kardan M was made for the millenium. It was the Kardan E before and after that. We purchased an additional complete production run in 2001 for the USA market only.
