I've seen a Silvestri and it was way too expensive to even think about (and that
was second hand!). I've not seen the Hasselblad one but I bet it'd cost more
than a 4x5 rig.
I seriously like the idea of a wood & brass 6x7 field camera where you can
get all the tilts and shifts but without the hassle and expense of 4x5 sheet film,
or the limited DOF of "normal" 6x7. Like a baby version of the rosewood
Wista 45DX I once saw for sale.
