Linhof 220 RS
The Linhof 220 RS is a medium format rollfilm camera produced by the German manufacturer Linhof. It was designed as a handheld 6x7 roll-film camera paired with Linhof's precision engineering typical of the brand's non-technical-field lineup.
At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Linhof 220 RS have ranged from around £600 to £1,250, with a median near £930 based on the limited sales on record. Today in 2026, the value of a 220 RS at saleroom level remains strongly condition-dependent, and because only a handful of wholesale results are available, a single clean example can shift where the price sits within that band.

What is a Linhof 220 RS worth today?
Recent UK auction hammer results put the Linhof 220 RS between roughly £600 and £1,250, so a typical working example sells for somewhere in the middle of that range depending on cosmetics and shutter condition.
How much does a Linhof 220 RS sell for at auction?
The two logged UK auction sales are £600 and £1,250 at the hammer, giving a median price of around £930 before buyer's premium is applied.
Is the Linhof 220 RS a good value medium format camera?
Its price reflects Linhof's build reputation rather than mass-market demand, so value depends on whether you need a handheld 6x7 rollfilm body with Linhof engineering rather than a cheaper alternative from another maker.
