Linhof Tech. 70 and/or Tech. IV differences

Hello,

Unfortunately, cannot found any complete info about
Linhod Technika 70 view camera. Is it different from
Super Tech. 23 (with rangefinder)?
What camera (from these two) allows more movements
with wide-angle lens ?
What camera is lighter ?
What lensboard used on Tech. 70 ? Is it regular
Linhof (compatible with current Tech 2x3 or 4x5)
or something different ?

I'm considering to buy one of these. Unfortunately,
I should use KEH or eBay, so I need to choose between
these cameras without actually seeing them.

Yes it has a built-in viewfinder with frames for 3 lenses and an
exposure meter

What camera (from these two) allows more movements
with wide-angle lens ?

The Super Technika V, 23b will allow the most lens rise otherwise the
Super Technika V 23 and the Technika 70 have the same movements.
What camera is lighter ?

They use, for the most part, the same board. In a few cases the Technika
70 has a special board. The 70 boards are out of production for several
years.

If I'm not mistaken, theTech 70 is basically a horizontal camera. No
revolving back. The viewfinder is fixed - horizontal.

The Super Tech 23 appears to be much more versatile.

Bob,

thanks for info. I've another set of questions

What camera (from these two) allows more movements
with wide-angle lens ?
The Super Technika V, 23b will allow the most lens rise otherwise the
Super Technika V 23 and the Technika 70 have the same movements.

What the widest wide-angle lens can be mount to Tech 70/Super Vb/Super ?
Is it possible to mount Super-Angulon 47mm to some/any of these
cameras. Is movements (esp. tilt) possible with 47-mm lens ?
Do I need recessed lens board for so short focal length ?
Is it possible to mount shorter lens ? On my 35-mm cameras I
(rarely) use 16-mm focal length, I would like to repeat same
field of view on (coming) field-MF.

What camera is lighter ?
The Super Technika V 23b
AFAIK, V 23b is new (current?) model. I can afford only used
ones, so Tech 70, or Super Tech. V (old versions).

With or without rangefinder focusing?

As for which camera that is up to you. Both are good.

I've read, that RF need to be tuned for lens. I guess,
it is not possible here (Moscow, Russia), so ground-glass
focusing will be enough.
Also, I'm planning to hike with this camera, so less
weight is most important feature (each 200-300 gramms is
very sensitive in mountains).

I want to be able to install wide-angle lens and have
some (limited movements). Is it possible to install
47-mm to either (old) Tech V or Tech 70 ?
