So I was thinking about wether to get a 6x9 field camera or a 4x5 field camera with roll film back? Also if I go for the 6x9 camera would it be hard to find lens boards for them? I want to use lenses such as 47 -> 90 mm max with movement. Please help. Arca Swiss f 69 or linhof technikardan 23 would be nice but they are hard to find used here in the UK. Please also recommend me some other brand aswell.
Thanks

Consider an Ebony 23s..a sweet camera..EC

Also consider a Shen Hao TFC69A. It's a non folder and is inexpensive. I have a 4x5 version for a grab and go knock around camera and habe been satisfied. I believe Robert White can sell you one, Badger Graphic in the US list it at $719.95 US..Evan Clarke

6x9 camera or 4x5. At least within the Horseman system, they are both about the same size.
