Linhof Master Technika '50 Years' Gold
The Linhof Master Technika '50 Years' Gold is a commemorative edition of Linhof's 4x5 large-format folding field camera, produced by the German maker to mark the company's 50th anniversary of the Technika line. As a limited gold-finished variant of the Master Technika, it was positioned as a collector's piece rather than a working tool when new.
Auction data for this commemorative edition is thin, but the two recorded UK saleroom hammer results — wholesale levels excluding commission — sit at £4,000 and £4,200, giving a narrow band around the £4,000–£4,200 mark. Given how rarely these gold sets surface at auction today, the price a '50 Years' Gold sells for is highly dependent on completeness of the original presentation case and documentation, and a clean, complete example would be expected to command the upper end of that range.
