Linhof Super Technika 6x9
The Linhof Super Technika 6x9 is a German-made medium format technical camera designed for 6x9cm roll film, with body movements suited to both handheld press work and tripod-based studio or landscape photography. Positioned as a precision professional tool when new, it combined a rangefinder-focused press camera with view camera functionality.
At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Super Technika 6x9 have sat in the £170–£250 range, with a median of roughly £210 based on the limited sales data available in 2026. These are wholesale saleroom results rather than dealer retail prices, and condition of bellows, rangefinder calibration, and the presence of a matching cammed lens have a significant effect on what an individual example sells for.
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.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Linhof Super Technika 6x9 worth today?
Based on UK auction results, a Super Technika 6x9 body typically sells for around £175 to £250 at hammer, with the median value near £210. Complete outfits with a cammed lens and roll film back can achieve more.
How much does a Linhof Super Technika 6x9 sell for at auction?
Recent UK hammer prices range from £175 to £250. Actual price depends heavily on bellows condition, rangefinder accuracy, and whether a matched lens is included.
Is the Linhof Super Technika 6x9 still usable?
Yes, provided the bellows are light-tight and the rangefinder is calibrated to the fitted lens. 120 roll film remains widely available, so the camera can still be used for medium format work.
