Linhof has a new price list

Posting this here rather than Large Format Cameras and Accessories as it has some digital content.
Linhof has a new price list, effective 1 March 2022: https://linhof.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/2022_Linhof_preise_d_e-03-01.pdf
The list shows all the film cameras on their previous price list, effective September 2018, as still available. Analogue and digital lenses are not included; they are shown on a separate price list effective 1 December 2021.

I wonder if they still have linhof select lenses

The RD1 is cool - didn't know it existed

Out of curiosity, I checked the current price of my Technikardan 4x5. Converting from euros to dollars, I arrived at $4973. The Technikardan is listed at B&H for $8559. Quite a discrepancy.

That's a good question. Their December 2021 price list shows that the analogue lenses they sell are of the Rodenstock "Edition" line, a series of analogue lenses Rodenstock made in limited numbers after announcing the discontinuation of their analogue lens line. The 150 mm Apo Sironar-S was included in the "Edition" series but this one has sold out. I don't know if Linhof tests these "Edition" lenses and marks them "Linhof" in addition to their already being marked "Edition" designating them as "Linhof Select".

I have Linhof price lists going back to 2008. These show both analogue (lots still in 2008) and digital lenses. The terms "Select" or "Linhof Select" are not used. But these are price lists and don't show a lot of product detail so I wouldn't take that to mean that by 2008 Linhof was no longer "selecting" the lenses they sold.

I did a similar thing for the Master Technika 3000 and added Linhof & Studio to the mix. Expressing all prices in U.S. dollars, Linhof is asking $7524, Linhof & Studio $7560 while B&H (and Omega-Brandess, the U.S. distributer of Linhof) shows $12416. Even adding the 19-20% VAT for Germany or the UK, the US prices are still more by $3000+.

Currency conversions were done on 17 March 2021.
