Technica V, "C"
My favorite lens is a 75 Biogon and I run out of image circle with front movements very quickly.
Then I have to go to my 90 SA or use rear movements

You wouldn't have that problem with the latest recessed board for the Technika and TK. It has the aperture scale on the face of the board with a pointer and aperture selector. On the side of the board is the press focus lever and a red dot so you can tell at a glance if it is in the open position.
When I had my Master Technika... c or d for me.

Life in the fast lane!

"B" on a Technika II 5x7. I don't find the movements inconvenient at all. I use rear movements instead of front whenever possible. This way, lens coverage isn't usually an issue. I find I don't have a problem with the fact that the knobs on the right and on the left unscrew in two different directions. They both go counter-clockwise. And usually you only need to unscrew two of them. It takes maybe 3 seconds to swing/tilt the back. Usually I know before going under the dark cloth with the loupe, whether I will need to apply movements or not. The back never moves once you tighten the knobs again.
Once in a long while, I run out of swing on the back and I need to swing the front - only for close-up compositions. This doesn't happen often, as I am generally using the camera outdoors. If you analyse the location of the plane of focus relative to the film plane for most compositions, you find that extreme movements are rarely appropriate. Most of the time, the only movements I apply on the front are rise/fall and shift.

The only trouble with doin' nothing is you can't tell when you get caught up
B on the Master 2000, and oh yeah, b on anything that moves...err....anything with movements.
B on my Master Technika, and sometimes with an angle indicator.
Why this pool, please ?
Although I am using a Color Kardan (the front and back are essentially a Technika V on a rail), the movements are the same. I'm an A.
"d" on Technika IV. I canīt assure that never use it...
