A real limitation could be achieved with a position sensor that only allows the shutter to be released when the camera is held horizontally or vertically, depending on the model you choose. ;-)
The answer then would be the Rolleiflex 2.8F. It only shoots with a 80mm focal length, and always in the same orientation. :-)
Until two years ago, I shot exclusively with 500 c/m or sometimes with a 3.5F. If I could go back to the beginning with my current experience, I would actually choose a 2.8F as my only camera, because I can easily do without both interchangeable lenses and magazines. And I really think the Rolleiflex F models are absolutely brilliant. Incidentally, the selenium light meter on my over 50-year-old 3.5F still shows exactly the same values as my Profisix and Digisix.
