I think the fact it focuses from 12" and has a flat-field is "decisive" for me. I did have a Beattie "Intenscreen" mounted, and I use the ground glass a lot.
But I photograph art, thinking I would do that for museum catelogues, but I am having too much fun playing around. I also photograph architectural digest like interiors, for shameless "couch art": photographs of people's own home's interiors. I like the slightly surreal effect.
I also use it for little landscapes.
The fact is, I would have all three cameras you mention, if I had the money, plus even more wideangle cameras, like the Linhof Panorama 612 and the little Calumet 4x5's and a cut-down 4x10 view camera specially made I saw at Photo West.
I would also like to have a digital back for the SWC, for making "panoramas" and other really big photographs.
Has anyone posted any photos made with any of the digital backs compatible with the SWC?
Is 903 SWC my answer?
