This example includes both a 90mm wide‑angle lens and a 127mm standard lens, offering a versatile setup for landscape, architectural and studio work. The Technika III features full front standard movements, a robust drop bed, and a coupled rangefinder system designed for accurate focusing with matched lenses. Its metal construction and mechanical reliability have made it a long‑standing favourite among collectors, fine‑art photographers and large‑format enthusiasts.
Condition
Overall Condition: Very Good The camera shows light cosmetic wear consistent with age and careful use. Movements operate smoothly, moving the lens out is a little stiff, the bellows remain flexible, and the focusing and rangefinder mechanisms function correctly. Both lenses present well with normal signs of previous handling, shutters for both fire correctly. A well‑kept, fully usable example of this respected classic.
