Too many bad seeing nights, time for a new hobby? Try landscape photography. Linhof is the Rolls Royce of large format cameras.
I have a Linhof Master Technika 4x5 camera in mint condition with all the accessories you will ever need. Purchased new in 1994 and rarely used its in superb condition. Kept in a de-humidifying cabinet all lenses are fungus free with no scratches and the shutters are working on all speeds. The Rodenstock Grandagon (Linhof) – N 90mm f6.8 Compur and the Schneider Symmar – S (Linhof) 150mm f5.6 Compur were purchased with the camera.
These cameras are still being made, see the Linhof website – http://www.linhof.com/index-e.html
Or have a look at B&H for the price of the body only which is $9795.95 and that doesn’t include the Lens Board, the Lens, the Grip the Fresnel screen or the Viewfinder. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/31444-USA/Linhof_000054_4x5_Master_Technika_C lassic.html
This camera outfit cost over $20,000.00 when new. Anyone interested in swapping for a good quality telescope and or mount or other offers PM me.
