Was the first 5x7 Technika the III of 1950?
It looks to me in trying to research it that the Technika 1 (1936-1944) & Technika 2 (1945-?) were only 13x18 plate-holder types.
Was there a post-war 5x7 model out before the III of 1950?

No. The lll came out in Oct 1946. The Technika ll 57 was made from 46 till 50.

Thank you Bob. Just to clarify - the III of 1946 was 9x12/4x5 and the 5x7 III was out in 1950. A 5x7 II was available following the war.

Yes, correct.

Thanks. No book per se, just trying to nail the dates and models down. Once I get my data sorted I Hope to write a few articles. Maybe write some interviews eventually. Bob you need to found the Linhof Historical Society so that I can submit my articles to you!
