Linhof Technika V
The Linhof Technika V is a 4x5 large-format folding press and field camera made in Germany, part of the Master Technika lineage that succeeded the Technika IV in the mid-1960s. It was positioned as a precision rangefinder-equipped technical camera for professional use, combining hand-held press operation with view-camera movements.
With only one tracked UK auction hammer result on file (£2,250 in 2023), there is not enough current saleroom data to give a reliable price band for what a Technika V is worth today. That single wholesale-level result suggests clean, complete examples can sell for the low thousands at auction, but realised values are highly condition-sensitive and dependent on which lenses, cams and accessories are included in the lot.
