Are you sure, John? I ask because I went to Arax' site, such as it is. As far as I can tell Arax is selling overhauled rebadged Kiev cameras as new. They're not actually making cameras and seem to start with cameras whose histories are unknown. See, e.g., http://www.araxphoto.com/cameras/how/ARAX is being made and sold.

Lomo may still offer the Lubitel. Not exactly a precision machine.

LOLTo sum up: Essentially there are no 'normal' m.f. film cameras made?

I had no idea these were being made again until I read your post. It seemed we'd lost them for good after DHW Fototechnik went under a couple of years back. It's good to see that some former employees have started up the machines again. Unfortunately they are way out of my price range. Unless I win the Euro Millions tonight of course. I reckon I'm in with a pretty good chance. ;-)DW-Photo:

Linhof Techno = adjustable medium format camera up to 6×9 cm for adaption of all currently available digital backs as well as of various medium format rollfilm backs.

Among these, what is the one with better price?Kenko Professional Imaging still lists the Horseman SW612, SW612P and SW617 cameras on their website in Japan. However, I don't know whether they are still in production.
In their latest price list, dated Sept 1, 2018, in addition to the Techno and the M670cs, which can accept roll film holders, Linhof still lists the Technorama 612pcII, Technorama 617sIII, and Technikardan S 6x9 cameras.
EDIT: Forgot the Chinese cameras:
* Dayi 6x12, 6x17, 6x24
* Gaoersi 6x12, 6x17, 6x24
* Shen Hao 6x17 and 6x24 view cameras
* Fotoman still lists 6x9, 6x17 and 6x24 cameras on their website - I don't know which if any of these are still in production
this is pretty funny!My Lubitel 2 would like a word with you.
