Linhof Super Technika IV 4x5 Large Format Camera OUTFIT, LENSES & ACCY'S-READ

Description: Lovely 1960 Linhof Super Technika IV 4x5 technical studio and field camera, serial #67725. This camera body is in excellent working condition; focus track, rangefinder, movements and locking, rotating GG back. The bellows is original and light testing revealed a few MINOR pinholes with the bellows stretched out. At normal working extensions, they may not even come in to play. However, important to disclose this fault. I have patched the holes with electrical tape as a temporary measure and to make it easy to locate the pinholes, should you choose a more permanent repair. Aftermarket bellows can be had for reasonable prices if that is your choice. The one other issue has to do with the anatomical grip. It works fine, can be adjusted for angle and has a cable release but the leather hand strap is starting to deteriorate. Not a big surprise after sixty four years. Repair it or remove it, as you choose. Now that the faults are out of the way, the rest of the outfit consists of three lenses; A 150mm f5.6 Schneider Symmar, a 90mm f8 Schneider Super-Angulon and a 270mm f5.5 Schneider Tele-Arton, all in Compur shutters. The 150 & 270 are Linhof chosen lenses in Linhof Compur shutters. All the shutters perform well. The 150 was just CLA'd, as it was a bit sticky from non-use. The glass on all the lenses is fine, clean and clear of haze or fungus. The 150 has the tiniest bit of Schneideritis forming at the edges but will not be an issue in our lifetime or probably the next. The Schneider Tele-Arton 270mm f5.5 is a telephoto lens for 4x5. The big advantage of this lens is that, as a telephoto design, it requires less bellows draw to focus at infinity,making it a perfect partner for the Technika. The camera has three sets of infinity stops, set for the three lenses and there are rangefinder cams for each lens. The 150 cam is installed and they are easily changed. There are focus scales for all three lenses (150 & 270 visible in the photo, but the 90 is there). There are also the Multi-focal finder, optically and mechanically very nice, and the sports finder. I will include a few film holders and a LowePro Magnum 35 bag that holds the outfit nicely. Ships via USPS Ground Advantage.
