HU: Linhoff 220

Crazy! I have never heard of it. I wonder how good it is in use...
 
I must admit, I love weird cameras, particularly when they turn out to be great picture takers...this would be a cool one to have, but I am going to be travelling all over so i won't be able to bid...I think I would buy a rolleiflex before this though...
 
I was a staff photographer for Union Carbide / Oak Ridge National Lab in the mid 70's and we had a 220. It's typical Linhof and is built like a tank. Excellent in use and easy to handle with a really great bright line VF / RF. The lens is tack sharp and it takes a stroke of the lever to wind the film and cock the shutter. The only downside is non interchangable lenses. I would guess it will bring a fairly high price.
