Shen-Hao 6x17 camera options - which is the best?

[Jeff Bannow]

So, I've weighed my options for 6x17, and have resolved to use a full field camera with movements. Since I already have a Chamonix 4x5, something that takes a Linhof-style board is perfect. Looking in my price range, the Shen-Hao 6x17s seem to be the right choice.

Anyone here familiar with the range of 6x17 Shen-Hao cameras (I think there are four of them). I'm not clear on what the pros and cons of each model is.

This doesn't really answer your question but might be useful to you.
I did a short video on using the Shen-Hao PTB617. You can find it here.
