<p>In that price range look at Manfrotto & Giotto. Lots of good choices. </p>

<p>The MP just the way it is, except I would change the direction of the shutter speed dial, if that is not too radical.</p>

<p>Carbon fiber tripods, though a convenience for the traveler, tend to be top heavy and easily knocked over. One such incident cost me almost $1000. Since the weight is not a significant part of your choice, I would get aluminum.</p>

<p>If you need it now, get it now. We don't even know if the next model will be worse.</p>

<p>Absolutely right. A 50 may be used for good portraits. My preference is a 75. When I did them commercially I used a 90 on a reflex body.</p>

<p>It's probably from over agitation. I had the same problem years ago from following the Kodak agit. instructions. Overagit. develops the edges of the film more, making them" thicker". The result is white at the edge of the prints.</p>

<p>Good luck getting the fur out of the bellows.</p>

<p>They are not too dark.</p>

<p>Its like 35mm film except it is more difficult to handhold & you have to change the film more often. I ended up always using a tripod for 120 film.</p>

<p>Probably the best tripod overall is a Gitzo. You get a choice of aluminum, which is heavy but steady, or carbon fiber, which is very light though liable to be knocked over. That is what the hook is for. Hang your camera bag from it when you are shooting. If you work primarily at home, get aluminum. If you shoot a lot on location, carbon fiber. Another good tripod is the Ries, though a little heavy, and for low budget Giotto is very good. Linhof also makes a great tripod. </p>

<p>The yen is getting stronger (although this has reversed in the last few days, just a little) because the US is so deeply in debt that some people who kept their money in $ are selling them and buying other currencies. There are a large number of very wealthy people who speculate in foreign currency. The action is much larger than the stock market. Those people are less inclined to bet on the $ because the US is so messed up financially. The US government does not understand that they are impoverished debtors. Other people do. That is why the dollar is sinking.</p>

<p>Another reason could be the cost of the yen, which has increased in cost one and a half times what it was a few years ago, versus the dollar.</p>

<p>Leica MP overall, among Nikons the FM3.</p>

<p>Try Calumet.</p>

<p>The RB is an excellent camera. After trying almost every medium format camera made, I have settled on the pro sd. Because of concerns about repairs and parts I got 2 backup bodies and filmbacks, and several lenses. I had Hasselblads for years. I like this better. No the lenses are not quite as sharp as the Hass but the extra negative size makes up for it.</p>
-
<p>A third possibility would be to use a 4x5 camera and print with an enlarger. You did not specify B&W or color. Personally, and many people will disagree, I prefer digital for color and large format film for b&w.</p>

<p>I was very surprised at just how good that lens is, even wide open.</p>
Yes, it's another tripod question.
