These amazing cameras are now aging and it is wise to budget for a CLA and bellows replacement before putting into regular use again. The words "Top Mint" "Near Mint" "EX+++ Like Mint" mean nothing and should all be considered hyperbole. Having hundreds of examples of Linhof Technika cameras pass through my hands each year, I can say the japanese sellers especially on eBay are overly ambitious and creative in the description of cameras. This is almost never the case for a vintage Technika. The interest in large format photography again has brought many cameras out of the woodwork and into the open market for sale, this is a good thing, but double edged for buyers who believe a camera will arrive as turn-key ready to shoot.
Modern bellows generally last 10-15 years, so a camera built in the 1970s/80s/90s is probably going to need bellows replaced at minimum. The selling dealers or owners have no point of reference or knowledge to test functions and know if they are correct or out of tolerance. Most of the vintage Technika cameras to be found now are 25-50 years old (even older for Technika III), it is reasonable to assume any camera you select, despite the condition/pictures and description will need a CLA service to be brought back to proper operating condition. The same basics knowledge can be applied to Technika III, though different models of III's have their own issues not specifically addressed here, in the future, time permitting. * I do not agree with t he suggested modifications listed in other Technika buying guides found online, these guides contains an abundance of misinformation and should be interpreted loosely.* This guide is for Technika IV, V and Master cameras. We will continue to update, revise and pass on valid information in this guide.
