Linhof Press 70
The Linhof Press 70 is a medium-format press camera produced by the German manufacturer Linhof, designed to take 70mm roll film for high-frame-count professional and press use.
Sales data for the Press 70 is extremely thin: a single UK auction hammer record from 2005 shows the camera selling for £660, which represents a wholesale saleroom result rather than a retail price. With only one data point, today's worth cannot be reliably stated, and any current value would depend heavily on completeness of the 70mm back, lens fitted, and overall condition.
Sales History
Prices shown are realised prices — auction results and completed eBay sales, never asking prices. Most saleroom figures are hammer prices, before commission; some houses publish a premium-inclusive figure, and we do not adjust for condition. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher. How this figure is calculated.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Linhof Press 70 worth today?
Evidence is limited to a single UK auction hammer price of £660 from 2005, so a reliable current value cannot be quoted from the available data.
How much does a Linhof Press 70 sell for at auction?
The only recorded hammer price in our data is £660, achieved at UK auction; this excludes buyer's and seller's commission and reflects wholesale saleroom level rather than dealer retail.
Why is the Press 70 hard to price?
It was a specialist 70mm roll-film press camera produced in small numbers, and public sales records are sparse, which makes establishing a market price range difficult.
