Linhof 220
The Linhof 220 is a medium format rollfilm camera produced by the German manufacturer Linhof. It was aimed at professional and advanced amateur users who wanted a handheld medium format system rather than a sheet-film technical camera.
At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Linhof 220 have spanned roughly £90 to £680, with a median around £470 across the recorded saleroom results. Today the value is highly condition-sensitive: a clean, working example with good optics and intact rollfilm transport sells for several hundred pounds, while a spares-or-repair body can fetch under £100, as a 2025 result demonstrated.
Sales History
