I've been shooting medium format TLR pretty much exclusively for 25 years.
Finally took a plunge and purchased a Chamonix 045n when the 3.5F Planar Rollei broke down after getting suds at the beach a few times.
Camera:
Chamonix 045n w universal bellows
210mm f/5.6 Symmar S MC, late Fujinon W EBC 150mm f/5.6, Goerz RD APO Artar 4" f/9.0, 135mm f/3.6 Xenar Press Coated
6x9, 6x12, 4x5 backs
Camera movements:
Wow, this is very cool... Amazing actually.
Seems almost like it all makes sense which way to tilt, etc,...
Close far, left right, Tall short.... WILD.
You can get many different planes of focus on scenarios I'd never of had in focus using the old Rollei.
Light meter:
Jesus H. Christ.... where did all the light go compared to the Rollei???
No more shots of kids moving around at the beach!
Not much more to say than...
Work in progress!
