I would like to try a medium format camera with movements for a
combination of architectural (building exteriors) and cityscape photography.
Lightweight and fast to setup is a primary concern.
I would like to use roll film because I don't plan having a darkroom,
therefore the use of 4x5 sheet film would be an expensive option.
I apologize in advance for any mistake, but I'm completely new to
large format. Yes I'm going to read the LF highly recommended books!
I have a "hardware" question.
The Horseman 985 can use a 65mm lens without recessed lens board,
accordingly to the specs.
This is as wide as I want to go, because, from my 135 format experience,
the FOW of a 28mm is wide enough. Further it's more for funky wide effects.
But, is this camera with a 65mm lens still usable for arch. photography?
Does it provide the necessary movements?
If not, should I consider different options like a 4x5 monorail with a bag bellow?
More important constraint:
the budget for camera, 6x9 roll film back and 2 lenses (65mm and 135mm) is circa 1500US$.
Yes I'm looking for used equipments.
Thanks in advance for your comments.
