The thread above was about the Technika 2x3". The Master Technika (http://www.linhof.de/master_technika_classic_e.html) 4x5" is still aviable in three different models, Classic, 3000 and Jubilee.

There are currently two Master Technika cameras; The Master Technika Classic and the Master TTechniques 3000. In addition, one dealer. Samy's Camera in Los Angeles has two pieces of the 75th anniversary commemorative camera, the Master Technika Jubilee in Ferrari red leather finish and consecutive serial numbers for sale. These are the last two Jubilee models left for sale new world wide.

Bob, if they're not actually extinct, how many 4x5 Technikas does Linhof make in a year? Less than 50? More than 50? More than 100?
(When I hit the Lottery, I'll probably trade my IV for a Master.)

Bill,
They keep the figures private, unless there is a special edition like last year's commemorative 120th anniversary model for Linhof's 120th anniversary, of which they made 120 and we sold 12 of them.
