Wikipedia / Linhof

Linhof is a German company, founded in Munich in 1887 by Valentin Linhof. The company makes premium rollfilm and large format film cameras. Linhof initially focused on making camera shutters and developed the first leaf shutter, which became part of Compur.

Nikolaus Karpf entered the company in 1934 and that year designed the Technika, the world's first all-metal folding field camera. Revised models of the Technika are still in production.

Linhof is the oldest still-producing camera manufacturer in the world after Gandolfi closed and Kodak sold their production to Calumet.
