My fellow enthusiasts,
I once again look to you for guidance. I'm thinking of trading a Linhof Tech III 5x7 for a Sinar Norma 5x7. I miss the precision of a monorail, plus the Linhof has limited movements compared to the Norma. And I understand the Norma is lighter than the Tech III. I know that the Norma won't be as easy to tote around as the Linhof, but I never venture very far from the car anyway. I shoot mainly landscapes, urban scenes and still lifes. I've already corresponded off forum with a 5x7 Sinar Norma owner, and he gave the camera high marks. Does anyone else out there have experience with Normas, particularly the 5x7? I've never used one -- what are the camera's strengths and weaknesses? I've read comments in the archives, but they mostly address 4x5 Normas. Thanks in advance for your advice.
