Linhof Technorama (6x17)
The Linhof Technorama (6x17) is a medium-format panoramic film camera producing 6x17cm negatives on 120/220 roll film. It was positioned as a specialist professional tool for landscape and architectural photographers who wanted a single-frame ultra-wide aspect ratio without resorting to cropping or stitching.
Sales history for this model is thin, with only two recorded UK auction hammer results — £1,495 in 1999 and £1,610 in 1998 — so today's price guide here is limited. Those figures are wholesale saleroom results and exclude commission, and the panoramic Technorama line has historically held its value well, so a current owner asking what a Technorama 6x17 is worth should treat the older data as a floor rather than a ceiling. Condition of the fixed lens, shutter accuracy and film-back flatness are the main factors that determine what a clean example sells for.
