All auctions / Nautica, Technica & Optic / Linhof Press 70 + Carl Zeiss Planar 2,8/80mm | Rangefinder camera
In this is one of the masterpieces of post-war German photographic engineering: the Linhof Press 70. Produced from 1963 by the famous Linhof Präzisions-Systemtechnik of Munich (founded by Valentin Linhof), this medium-format rangefinder camera represents the apex of tools dedicated to photojournalists and news photographers of the 1960s, renowned for its industrial robustness paired with Swiss-like precision. The Press 70 is famous for its extraordinary, bright combined rangefinder viewfinder with a large window that automatically corrects parallax. This particular specimen appears in its rare and fascinating tan/gold coloration (beige/gold) and is equipped with its anatomically shaped ivory-colored grip and the original Linhof rigid carrying case with a customized red velvet interior.
