I am toying with the trying out LF once again. I have looked at the toyo AII and noted that there is also an L version of this. the L version supposedly allows linhof lens boards to be mounted.
what are the advantages/disadvantages of the L version versus the conventional version.
thanks in advance for your comments.

You can buy an adapter board to a Toyo AII so it can also use Linhof boards.
The main difference is the smaller Linhof boards instead of the larger Toyo
Field boards.
The AII L is a relatively new camera, so a used AII L is probably in better shape.
An advantage of the AII is its big lensboards. I have mounted some quite large lenses into them. The AII L eliminates that advantage.
...and the ability to flip off-centered boards for more rise/fall.
