Last price drop to $1800

OK, I lied; $1750

The GG hood is not standard equipment on this camera, even if you shell out $5K for a new camera, and this hood is almost new.

Bag bellows have been used a handful of times, and recent service to the camera gave it 10/10.

Camera is packed away, ready to ship.

I love this camera's superb engineering, on top of the Linhof quality. Very nice. Good luck with the sale!

Me too, jcc, and thank you.

I thought I'd have it for life, but finances and changing work habits got in the way.

Still available.

On hold for the time being; thank you.

Welcome back Ari. We missed you.

This is a wonderful camera. I had the predecessor, a TK45 for several years and sold it to Ari. Then he upgraded to this. He is a good person to do business with. A rare person. He actually does what he says he will do. Things are as he says they are.

This is a wonderful teaching camera. The TK45 was my first 4x5 after using a school Calumet monster for a couple of months. By teaching, I mean it is so intuitively well designed that you can start using it with just a little knowledge and it will teach as you go. I loved it until my eyes began to go. Then I moved up to a format I could still see.

Thank you, John; that's very kind of you to say.

 

[Ari]

Yes, Michael; I lived there on and off from 1996 to 2010, in Mile End.
Have we met before? Send me PM.

 

[Ari]

Yes, that was me! On rue de l'Esplanade.
There was a small Durst enlarger as well, if I recall, and you mentioned something about astrophotography?
All the darkroom stuff is gone, except the Jobo tanks; replaced by a scanner and printer now.
But I kept up with the cameras, and now shoot 95% of my work on 8x10.
Small world on this internets thingy.

 

[Ari]

Right, print flashing.
Well, I'm in Montreal often enough; I should be going in the fall to do some FLM promo at LL Lozeau, and I'd be happy to meet up.

Back to the business at hand...anybody want a Linhof? Nice camera, I'm the second owner, looking for a third owner.

 

[Ari]

Anybody for $1700 plus shipping?

KEH recently sold a TK45s for just under $1600, but that did not come with bag bellows or GG hood.

 

[Ari]

Sold on eBay, thank you.
