For large formatists it may be heretical, but how is Adams all that influential? He was treading a path already well-worn by pioneers of landscape photography like William Henry Jackson. Yes, he produced much technically superb, very accessible photography; he certainly wasn't an innovator in artistic terms.

I've been unable to find a source of information about the Canham DLC. Can anyone point me to the manufacturer, dealer, or other source?

As a commercial/editorial photographer, I sometimes need camera movements that my 35 and RB equipment don't deliver. Since local 4 x 5 E-6 processing is not available, I'm looking for a camera that will take 120 rollfilm and Polaroid backs, accept a digital back in the future, be light and rigid enough to allow equal parts studio and drive-to location work (architecture), offer reasonably priced (good used) accessories. The Arca-Swiss 6 x 9 or 4 x 5 FC sounds as likely as anything I've read about, meeting all criteria except maybe the used accessories. Does this choice seem wise, or are there other systems I should consider?
