Yes, I know these cameras have not changed much in the last 100 years :-)
Anyway, I am having so much fun with my Shenhao 617 that I am thinking about getting a 4x5.
Lightweight is important, but it also should be sturdy. The Shenhao PTB617 is only 1.5 kg. I doubt too many 4x5 are that light, but closest to that would be nice.
The Shenhao 617 locking mechanism can be .. better. Not sure whether their 4x5s are better in that regard or not.
I am not using too much movements yet. Mainly rise, but I am sure I want tilt. Folding is not important.
Bellow draw from 90mm to ~350mm is probably sufficient.
Cost is a consideration.
Recommendations? Thanks!
