I am using a Hasselblad 50 back (soon to be 60) on both an H3 and Alpa Max, doing photodocumentation of large objects (usually aircraft). The Max is doing very well for me in stitching with HR90 and 40 lenses. Typically I will just stitch 3 x 1 or up to 3 x 3, but sometimes I combine stitch with tilt.
I am finding that there are perspectives I just can't manage and that I am missing some interesting shots. Guess that means a view camera with full adjustments on both standards. Camera size is not too much of a problem as the H3 and Max will remain my portable tools.
I am digital-only, and leaning towards a 4 x 5 system with adapter so as to be ready for any future increase in detector area. I would continue to shoot tethered as small GGs are difficult for me. Means I am not too concerned with sliding backs, though rotation would be nice. Movement and mounting precision are probably the main cirteria.
Any guidance as to which system is the most user-friendly among the monorails? Should I buy new or is there a "classic" used system that I should look for?
