To make matters more confusing, the 4x5 Super-Technika did not come with a built-in viewfinderrangefinder like the 6x9 version, but it is still called a Super). Looking at The Linhof Camera Story, the difference between a 6x9 Technika and a 6x9 Super-Technika during the IIIIV era is that a 6x9 Super-Technika has the attached top-mounted rangefinder-viewfinder with the viewfinder masks like the camera listed here on eBay, and if the book is telling the whole story, the III did not come in a Super version, only the IV. It is possible that it is a late version of a 6x9 III, but the Cameraquest page is mostly about the 4x5 cameras, not the 6x9. The photos also show a groundglass back, so you could use regular filmholders-nominal 2x3 or 6.5x9cm European style-and you can use the camera movements with rollfilm. The later lever wind backs dont have this problem, because they meter the actual film travel, while the older ones presume a certain thickness for the film and paper backing.
