i don't find 4x5 too small, but just too close to an excellent 6x7... 8x10 is an other story !
But you should consider the cost per view also !

For interiors and long exposure you should use her sister, NPL !
i like it with my 69, but the 171x171 for 4x5 is very bulky !

i am in the process to buy some portra VC 4x5 film, and i was looking at prices on the web.
I've notice that BH sell USA film and imported Films, pro and cons ?
Thanks
Any good adress in europe...
i have it (current model, bought direct to arca, recess), it's expensive but very well made. Considering linhof type lensboard, i like the wista one, and you have to know that even the linhof ones...
Bob, i find the inverse to be true as well ... i used to have a technikardan S 45, adn some old original linhof panels dinn't fit (too large !) .

I will go to 8x10, because i'm concern about image quality, and considering the...

You won't need movements, so ... Mamiya 7 and fuji NPL (or NPS it depends on lighting)... unless you need big prints !
With the new Fline you will be able to upgrade to 8x10 ... but not with the misura or the field !
With the F line, you have tilit available on the back, not on the misura !
I think the misura...
i will go for the 110 xl, it's one of my sharpest lens (150 apo sironar s, 180 apo symmar, 72xl, and 55 apo g).
You have to consider a center filter also, and with the 110 xl it's a 67/82 !
