Linhof Super Technika V
The Linhof Super Technika V is a German-built large-format folding technical field camera from the Munich maker Linhof. It belongs to the Technika line of metal-bodied press and field cameras, with rangefinder coupling and full movements, positioned at the top of the professional large-format market when produced.
Hammer prices for the Super Technika V at recent UK auction span roughly £400 to £2,000, reflecting how heavily condition, format size, and included lenses affect what the body sells for. As of 2026 the limited sample available shows a midpoint around £1,200, but the wide spread means the value of any individual example depends closely on completeness — outfits with cammed lenses and clean bellows pull toward the upper end of that range, while bare bodies sit much lower.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Linhof Super Technika V worth today?
Recent UK auction hammer results sit between roughly £400 and £2,000, so the price you should expect depends heavily on whether the camera comes with cammed lenses and how clean the bellows and rangefinder are.
How much does a Super Technika V sell for at auction?
Two recorded UK saleroom results came in at £400 and £2,000, giving a midpoint near £1,200 — complete outfits with matched lenses tend to sell for noticeably more than bare bodies.
Why do prices for this camera vary so much?
Format size, bellows condition, rangefinder accuracy, and whether cammed lenses are included all materially change the value, which is why hammer prices range from a few hundred pounds to several thousand.
