the smallest view/tech camera available

Hi there .. sorry for interlude ... the Gottschalt as far as I remember was in the same price range as the Cambo... although when I was getting it there were not many options with the Cambo  (was still the 4x5 model afaik) and Cambo were difficult to pin down on price.  I ended up getting a leaf back, 3 lenses and the gottschalt. I paid it off over 3 years for the same amount I was spending on 4x5 film, processing and couriers.

To my knowledge, that would be the Hasselblad ArcBody (http://www.luminous-landscape.com/reviews/cameras/arcbody.shtml). It is similar in size to the Hasselblad FlexBody, but uses Rodenstock view camera lenses (35mm, 45mm, 75mm) that are made specifically for it, allowing additional and much more extreme movements. I use it with a V96 digital back.

I hesitated to mention that option due to cost.  The few used bodies, with lenses, that I have seen recently were in the range of $12k.
