The styling is world class as is the construction. Easy lens interchanging with matching cam already in place, it's very convenient though not actually fast at different focal shots. Has the best rangefinder in the world and some of the best lenses combined with enough heft to dampen the palsied hand of this Sexagenarian-enough to allow 1/30th second shots with the normal lens! On a tripod it nearly matches the best 4x5s and surpasses the rest. It really does shoot from the hand, and well at that. The camera is a chunk of quality with capabilities which rival monorail cameras and it has handhold possibilities. To paraphrase a well know camera reviewer, it would be incorrect to say that the Linhof 23b is the Leica of medium format cameras as really the Leica aspires to be a Linhof, not the reverse. I would unqualifyingly state that it is the finest camera of its type and the benchmark for virtually all cameras. The Linhof 23b Super Technika has been my right arm for the last twenty years having owned three as well as an old model III and two model IVs.
