Mark, Carsten is in Germany - if need be, he can have it overhauled much closer to home.

I think a Fuji 680 would solve your needs. You get an SLR view of your subject, tilting lens standard at the front, and medium format roll film. You can also add a Polaroid back or even a digital back. While not numerous, you can find these used at quite good prices. Markus Klinko used a slightly modded one on some of his shoots.

Ciao!

But on this side of the pond, Marflex is definitely the way to go.

Thanks for the tip, Mark, but I actually bought the camera from a Linhof technician

He has a little side-business buying and selling old Linhof bodies. I guess he is trying to save up a little extra for retirement. Nice guy. The body looks like new, but is likely from the 60s. It was probably bought by a doctor as a status symbol or something like that. Leicas and Linhofs are similar in that respect around here.
