Another question I have:
I use b&w and color film and I develop both at home.
Is it easy to find color film for 4x5?

All metal Linhof Technikas predated Sinar Norma by multiple decades.
In LF, 14 years (1934), before that Technikas were MF, but you are right, "the Norma first all metal camera ever" is absolutely wrong, I guess that the Norma is first all metal system camera, "achieved by means of standardized components carefully designed to form a highly versatile building block system".
Keep it simple.

It's easy, but also consider using a 120 format back in the view camera rear to shot 6x12cm for example. Color sheet film is crazy expensive compared to 120 format.
Film cost for a 6x12cm Provia shot is $1.4, while 4x5 shot is around $4, which makes 6x12cm a nice choice for (panoramic) landscape. For portrait you may use Portra in 120 rolls in the camera back in 6x9 or 6x8, while you conserve full movements and a lot of image quality.
Fuji and kodak have very high prices (x2) for sheet film compared to the same surface in 120 roll film, ilford and Foma keeps similar per surface price. Maufacturers have a pricing policy, you decide what you do.
Why don’t you do proper research? Just go to Linhof History on their web site.
“1889
Construction of Valentin Linhof’s first all-metal camera based on the design of – Joseph Barth , a precision engineer from Munich using aluminium instead brass. The format 9 x 12 cm came in two versions: for plates and rollfilm. For the first time the camera was square. By rotating the groundglass screen the format coud be switched from upright to horizontal pictures without removing the camera from the tripod.”
This was 1889.
“Die Technika-Serie wird in den Versionen 6×9 cm und 9×12 cm gebaut.”
1936
Bob, I did some research: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linhof
