A handholdable 6x7+ rangefinder coupled, helicoid focusing, shiftable LF lens with interchangeable film/digital backs exsist?
Closest so far:
Alpa sw12
Silvestri bicam
littman
mamiya 7
linhof 2000
wica weltzar
But so far none of these cameras have all the features lm looking for.
Thanks in advance.

Why not build one from various parts?
Linhof discontinued it several decades ago as it did not sell. The Linhof Technical Press

No, Steven, you have to build one.
Can you get shift lenses for the mamiya rangefinder?
I guess that wouldn't make much sense. Nevermind.
When I become rich and powerful, I'm going to have the best minstrels in the world working for me. I'll hire mechanical engineers and machinists to build one-of-a-kind view cameras made from the most exotic materials. Forget aluminum, magnesium and titanium; how about scandium alloy. Before machining, I'd have all the parts spun-cast for the lightest weight.
Of course, perhaps I could save a little and just have some folks to carry the equipment I already have, but it's fun to dream.

Just to add to the others already mentioned. However, if you add an accessory rangefinder you can be better at judging distance. With a little practice, it is actually quite easy to do; focus the rangefinder, read the distance off the scale, set the distance on the lens. Some really good ones were made by Präzisa and Voigtlander. There is also a new accessory rangefinder made by Fotoman.

Why shift on a handheld camera? Or did you mean rise? In which case I still am curious.
