Longtime lurker / admirer of the community here. I'm a pro that shoots on digital medium format, but a family emergency requires that I sell my Linhof Technorama 617 S III film system.
Purchased brand new, direct from LinhofStudio UK in 2016, original invoices attached.
All pieces have been obsessively kept humidity controlled with zero wear or damage. This system is my personal pride and joy; not for work.
Package is as follows:

TECHNORAMA 617 S III sn: D123377
T617 Shift lens Super Angulon XL 5.6/ 90mm sn:15231042

Technorama 617 Filter Holder
Aluminium Case Technorama 617 S III

Please do your research if not familiar, as this is the best panoramic system there is - and all parts listed here are the most current models.
Inflation, import taxes, and general price increases have all made this even more expensive than when I got it. I'm only selling because I need to, but my hope is that this will help someone get an amazing system in perfect condition for half what it would cost them to import it or buy from a USA dealer.
I will add all values up in a later post, but it should be $40,000 or more to buy in the USA now. I am looking for USD $20,000 - which is far less than I paid even when things were cheaper in 2016.
This will give you a current idea of UK import prices, from where I purchased everything:

I also have 6 Heliopan UV / ND / Polarizing filters for both the 90mm & 250mm lenses, if interested.
I am located in Arkansas, USA and would be willing to drive a reasonable distance to avoid shipping damage.
Please feel free to ask me any questions, or call me at the phone number listed on the invoices.
Thank you, Lee Browning Ezell
