Here is a link to a fellow named Dean who makes some pretty interesting cameras; very portable and rangefinding. Good luck in your search.

4x5" Linhof Technika V or Master Technika.

I think the answer is "Vidax", one of which I think just sold on eBay. (Forget 6X12, though.) Unfortunately, they are very scarce, much more so than eBay "rare".

Hi Bob,

What is the difference between the 2000 and the 3000? Will we see any closeout specials on the 2000. Hey it doesn't hurt to ask :rolleyes:

3000 will replace the 2000. It has an almost vertical drop to the drop bed. The extreme wide angle focusing is done by a knob on the outside of the body and there is a three position setting for extreme wide angle lenses.
No closeouts.
