Again, take the suggestion just above with the Horseman. There are newer options available, yet still, they make you sacrifice aspects due to the design. In the case of Chominix, there's very little sacrifice.
So, in the case of Linhof, I'm trying to better understand the lineup to see which cameras are worthy contenders to the Chominix F2. I'm not sure there are any, hence the reason for this post.
I don't want just any camera. For the $$ spent, I want to check as many boxes that I can. I look at it this way....for $1300USD I can get, x, y, z, P, D, and Q. Why would I spend $1800 or more and then only get x, y and z?
I think the Linhof name is great, but only to a point. But again, I was expecting someone to guide me on the difference models they offer that check a lot of boxes and then I could do my own research on them.
So, long answer....
