Going all film? in Medium Format Posted June 16, 2008 Hi Chris, Great to hear that you are so into photography at such a young age. If you are wanting to photograph landscapes primarily, I feel the Pentax 6x7 is the camera to get. Most professionals I know that focus on landscape and use medium format, use this system. I have used it as a compliment to my 4x5 Tachihara for years. The camera is bullet proof and very dependable. The lenses are absolutely top notch in terms of sharpness, contrast, etc. And now that most people are shooting digital, you can pick up this equipment for very reasonable prices on ebay, etc. I found a website that rates the Pentax 6x7 lenses. http://members.aol.com/dcolucci/p67ss.htm Sample landscape images at: www.brucejackson.com Most of these are 4x5, but a few 6x7's as well. Best of luck! ~BRUCE~
