The IV ended production in the early 60's, so they're all fairly elderly, but as I can confirm the engineering is first rate, and if anything is going to last forty odd years and still be in full working order a Technika will. There was a big change in specifications in going from the III to the IV, and it is the first model with full front movements and which also takes many of the spares made for the modern versions - something that's obviously quite important if you need to replace a ground glass or bellows, for example. For those looking for a relatively inexpensive but high quality entry into LF the Mk IV seems to be the one to go for.
The Linhof Technika name covers a series of technical cameras produced over many decades - Marks I - V, and the current MasterTechnika Classic and 2000 models. We've had people here asking about inexpensive entry models for LF here a few times over the years, so I thought I'd give a little run down and a few first thoughts about the Technika IV.
