At some point the 4x5 Technika was available with a black paint exterior finish rather that the traditional chrome.
Anyone have the details of which cameras and for how long they were available?
Were they made for a special occasion or region like some of the commemorative editions (Red, Gold, White).
I had once read they were in a batch of chrome cameras that had been recalled, painted over, and re-sold, but I can't seem to find that info anymore so maybe I am mistaken.
Austin has one for sale on his website with the following info:

"Factory built around 2004-2005, so far I am have concluded only around 200 black paint Master Technika classic were ever built, never before and never after this period."
He may be right but I have also seen this on MT 2000 cameras so the 2005 time seems unlikely as they were brand new late that year...
