The Norma is also one of the best looking cameras ever made. I have a wallpaper of the 5x7 with the tapered bellows, and people who don't even know it is a camera like it.
The Linhof Bi-Kardan is also a beautifully crafted camera of roughly the same era.
One caveat, the Norma has only base tilts while the Linhof Bi (as it's name implies) has both base and center tilts.
I had a 5x7 Norma at one time and have occasional regrets for selling it.
