I am wondering, which rear movements you are frequently using on your ULF camera (e.g. 7x17, 8x20, 12x20) when you are out in the field (preferably landscape photography).
My Canham 7x17 offers tilt, shift/cross and swing on the rear. Coming from Ebony RSW45 and Mike Walker Titan cameras (both featuring fixed rear standards), I consider to dispense with shift and swing in favor of increased rigidity. This would be achieved by a custom built rear bracket (still allowing for swing).
Could you photograph without rear shift and rear swing (but front rise/fall, front swing, front tilt, rear tilt)?
