Wood cameras like the Wisner are perfect for field use where you need light weight
and rigidity but do not need extensive moves. They are very nice cameras and a favorite
of the backpacking landscape photographers.
The Linhof Techs were nice for doing studio product on location and architectural work.
The drop bed front gave you extra forward tilt to compensate for lack of a rear rise and
the back floats on a post at each corner for rear swings and tilts.
Also on later models the top body panel flipped up so you could get a little extra rise
when using a wide lens. Truly German engineering at it's finest.
