I'm close to dumping my 35mm gear for a view camera, mainly looking at a Technikardan or an Arca-Swiss F because I want a single camera that can handle backpacking and studio stuff. Geared movements and the full modularity of Arca is cool but they're around 3x the cost of a Linhof, and most of the ones I can find I'd need to buy a rear standard to move between 4x5 and roll film - am I better off skipping geared movements and using a 6x9 back on a technikardan?
