Linhof’s websites advocates the Technika series as being most suitable for handheld use.

Even today, a Technika variation is being produced by Linhof the Master Technika. The Technika IV represents a small next step in the evolution of the Technika cameras with some incremental improvements. The presence of a coupled rangefinder makes a “super Technika” of an ordinary Technika. This means there are two varieties that operate similarly, but that vary considerably in size. The Linhof Technika III is a technical field camera for 4×5 inch (9x12cm) or 6×9 (2x3inch). This allows for rangefinder focusing and thus, handheld shooting.
