  1. I had the 4x5 model and they are great. Probably double what you are looking at. The only thing I did not like about them are they are pretty light and the bellows aren't as long as I wanted. Light of course is good when backpacking but sometimes is not good when shooting long exposures. But get one they are great and when you feel you want to move to something else you should be able to get your initial investment back on eBay if you take care of it. So a safe camera to purchase and pretty much try for free.
  2. I have the SV45Ti which I love. I shoot from a 90-300 and the other day I was able to focus with the 300 to within 3 feet of my still life I was doing some testing with. I like the versatility of the camera being the bellows have a section on the front that are more like a bag bellow that allows you to go fairly wide angle. I shoot my 90 and still have room to focus in more. Yet I can stretch the bellow out far to get those closeups with a longer lens if need be. For most shots though there is not much taxing the camera at all. There are some wide angle Ebony's that won't fold up that many say deploy faster as well but honestly with LF nothing is that fast and adding an additional 10 seconds to unfold the camera is not a big deal to me. I like the options of more lenses should I choose to go longer with the more standard folding field cameras. At the moment there are about 15 cameras on eBay to choose from. I would look at those and then google the ones that look like something you would want. there are usually reviews out there for most of them.
  3. <p>I really like the Mamiya 6, it is such a compact camera and is very easy to handle and focus. Of course it would just be film, but great nonetheless. I could never master the Hasselblad CM system just too slow. I would wait to see what Fuji will announce. Heard they are going to come out with a MF digital to rival the new Hasselblad but at a cheaper price. Could be cheaper than a digital back.</p>
