i think the 39948 is a 5x7 - is this a technika III?
not sure on the 2181868 - its half the size - technika III v5?

really a bit if a novice with this kind of equipment - got no manuals with these.

thanks again!!

The 5x7 would be a IV and the 4x5 is a V

Bob, I've acquired a second 4x5 Super Technika IV s/no. 65742.

Any idea of manufacturing date? (I guess c. 1960?)

Thanks in advance.

1960 would be about right.
