Hi Bob,
Can you tell me how many Super Technika 5x7 V models were built? Thank you,

Any idea of the timeframe that the Color 45s was made? I don't see much mention of it in Linhof literature except for a parts catalog from 1974. In 1976 the HP marketing Price List has 3 models listed:
Kardan Standard 4x5
Kardan Super Color 4x5/ 5x7/ 8x10
Kardan B 4x5/ 5x7/ 8x10
Kardan Master L 4x5 / 5x7
Is the Kardan Color 45s the same as the Kardan Super Color 4x5?
Thanks Bob!
I bet the Color 45s was pretty similar to the Kardan Standard. As I recall by the end of the decade they all had been replaced by the L shaped bracket models...
Hi Bob,
A question about the last 2 most recent versions of Linhof multifocus optical finders for 2x3 and 4x5.
1.Are all the glass elements the same in all format versions?..just with the printed scales and masks changed for the format.
As some read for 72mm... and others read for 75mm... at the wide end.
2. And the 6x12 mask sometimes sometimes says 65mm on the front..is that used on the same finder accurately for 65mm view?
thx!
The current version dates back to the 70s. The 23, 45 and 57 versions as well as the one for the 45 Aero Technika EL are all the same except for the calibrations and detents around the eyepiece for focal length and distance.
Originally the shortest focal length marked on the 45 was 75mm but after the 72 became available that became the shortest focal length.
612 masks marked with focal length as well as format are for Technar and Technorama 612 PC finders only.
