    What 4X5 folder with LOTS of rear shift other then KB Canham DLC?

    After working with a technika V for a while, i am thinking about getting something that is more solid then my DLC.
    Weight not important - but a large rear shift is what i am after (which the DLC has plenty of).

    A somewhat unusual requirement, but my thought is you should get a 5x7 camera with good movements and a 4x5 back. That should give you plenty of movement possibilities.

    Why would that give you more movements than a 4x5 camera with good movements? The 4x5 back would just be in the middle of where the 5x7 frame would be, you can't offset it to get the effect of more movement.

    If you've got the money, Arca-Swiss 4x5 F-Line Field, in the "C" configuration.

    Does it have to fold? Shenhao and Ebony have some nice cams with good shift and you don't have to unfold it..Just take it out and drop it on the tripod.

    I can carry a monorail camera as well... but would prefer a folding camera.

    Have had a couple of new Shen Hao's with many shifts...

    I know that may not constitute "good" shifts depending on what you may be looking for, but it had a ton more rear action than I ever considered needing. New under $1000. Beautiful 5.5 to 6 pound camera with back cover on GG.

    Horseman L series folds quite flat, very rugged, tons of shift.
