    According to 'The Linhof Camera Story'the most recent 5X7 Technika was the Super Technika V 13x18cm/5x7", with coupled rangefinder, made from 1964 to 1986.

    No.

    The Master Technika and Master Technika were/are only made in 4x5.

    The Super Technika V was discontinued in the 4x5 size in the 1970's, in 5x7 size in 1986. No replacement for the 57 Technika has been made since its demise.

    It could more easily be a black III.

    Get the serial number not a seller's description.

    If you can see a picture, look for the front rise mechanism on the right of the camera as you face it. If it is a little "pump handle" racheting front rise lever, it is a V. I find this the easiest visual cue to distinguish a V from earlier models. There is a Tech V 5X7 for sale on Ebay now where you can easily see this.

    Yes. The 5x7 Tech V Exists. I have one, including a 4x5 reducing back, in near mint condition. They're without peer for SOLID 5x7 field work. Heavy and worth it.
