I just find it amazing the bang for buck you get with larger format lenses. Obviously the larger negative helps.

As an update, received the Wista. Quickly noticed that on both sides the wood had split above the rails, decided to send it back. Seems like a weak point to me, especially with large extension and a heavy lens.

So excitement went quickly to disappointment, however a Chamonix 45n-2 I was watching on ebay was about to end. Won it and it arrived the next day.

Wow, what a step up in camera. Very solid and smooth to use. Bellows is also a much better construction. Great camera.

Took my first negative and I'm in love. I just need to remember to clean out my trays before using them, especially after not using them for months. The negative was sprinkled with grit!
