The difference from III to IV, besides the usual black leather finish, that has changed to a light brown, is the fact that to release the rear of the camera it is necessary to act at 4 points in III, while in IV, a single lock allows the camera back to be removed. Depending on the type of photography, some of its features may never be used, but the photographer will always have to carry those kilos with him. The bad side of this versatility is that with a lens it goes beyond 2 kg. The Linhof Super Technika 2×3 is just that.
The idea of a medium format with all the movements of a large format camera and yet a focus by telemetry with interchangeable lenses, as in a 35 mm, seems to be the formula of a dream camera. In Linhof, precision in mechanics is always impressive with the perfect fit between all moving parts. These go back to nineteenth-century tail board cameras, where the folding was at the rear and the film moved for focusing, instead of the lens. The basic concept is that of folding cameras, which can be closed and looks like a box. This is like a miniature of the celebrated Linhof Super Technika large format. – Super Technika III 23 | Linhof | 1951 –
