I'm looking for the an inexpensive, quality 4x5 that meets these criteria:
- accepts Linhof/Wista lens boards
- has rear movements (rise / fall / lateral shift)
- accepts a standard Graflok back
- is rigid and well-built enough that the standards are nicely parallel with a 75mm lens
- ideally doesn't weigh as much as, say, a Horseman LX
- ideally doesn't need a separate wide-angle bellows for 75mm and 90mm lenses (ideal, but not crucial)
I already have a Master Technika, but there are times when I need rear movements. I'm aware of the Technikardan, but good ones tend to be fairly pricey.
thanks,
ethan
