Kind of what I was thinking too.
I tried out a Linhof in a used camera shop, the 4x5 version wasn’t any heavier
than my 6008 setup, and was tempting.
Still not sure what makes most sense.

Thor,
when you are in Europe Linhof is more accessible than Graflex. There's have
been always smaller 6x9 versions of Linhof cameras like the Super Technika
6x9, the successor the 6x9 rangefinder Technika 70
https://www.shutterbug.com/content/classic-camerasbrthe-linhof-technika-70 ;
<https://www.shutterbug.com/content/classic-camerasbrthe-linhof-technika-70>
or the 6x7 rangefinder Linhof 220 http://arukucamera.net/Linhof220.html ;
<http://arukucamera.net/Linhof220.html> In my eyes the only advantage of the
Graflex over the Linhof is the inbuilt shutter which allows more easily
adaption of lenses like the 1: 2.5 178mm Kodak Aero which have no built in
shutter.
Best regards,
Volker

I have a Koni Omega, with 58mm lens. It was a great walking around tourist
camera. Karen Nakamura, whom some of us met at a roller meet-up in
Newhaven, about ten years ago, has a nice write up online here:

The are the dealer for Götschmann 6x7 modern slide projectors:

And I remember that Mr. Jensen once thought about developing a 5x4 Inch
slide projector once.

I have an ancient lantern projector, but what do you use for glass
mounts? Someone somewhere mentioned that Weiss had them. I wrote Weiss

That's 10 shots or 20 when 220 was around

I am thinking of the Omega camera, memory is nine shots per roll but I
never had one.

6X7 is probably the ideal since it is the right size for lantern
slides. 9 pix per roll.
