See once again we are dealing with internet wisdom, rather than real world
experience. At one time, I had that Schneider 90mm Angulon along with a 4x5
Super Technika. There were no movements on the ST that were out of range of the
Angulon at f16 and smaller. Right now I have a Crown Graphic with a 135/4.7
Optar which you can find hundred of comments on the internet that it will not
allow movements. Funny thing is there are no movements on the Crown that I have
tried that it will not cover. Oh yes, more modern lenses have better coverage,
but so what? The problem is this perceived need for theoretical perfection,
rather than for real world good enough. Of course it is much easier to blame the
equipment rather than our own limitations.

$500 shift lens (exc+ condition) + $300 camera body (new) = $800. That
includes a camera, film holder, and a pretty darn nice lightmeter. I dare
you to find me a field camera, 90-100mm lens with sufficient coverage for
significant shifting (e.g., a Schneider 90mm f6.8 Angulon isn't good
enough), readyload or quickload holder, dark cloth, and a lightmeter that
includes average and spotmetering, all in exc+ to new shape for $800.
