What next? (4x5)

... I'm beginning to think there is no reason to upgrade my camera in the near future

Don't worry, that feeling will pass

That's right, you'll never pass GAS.

Well, yeah... I was kind of speaking about rational choices, not about this inevitable force of nature which pulls us like gravity no matter what...

I like the tent spike idea. The rock in the bag seems to work also. I would just have the bag touching the ground. I rarely do photography in the wind. All you have to do is try to nudge the weighted tripod it does not move. About a year ago I bought the very long set of spikes for my gitzo cf tripod, and I have not been weighing the tripod much since that purchase. Now to find a good light-weight spike.

I have had several 4x5 cameras and by far my Chamonix 45 F2 is my favorite. Sturdy and very easy to work with. I bought mine used here on this forum and it was "like new". I have had several tripods as well and finally bought a Giotto CF that works for my LF, MF and digital cameras. I agree you would probably want at least 4-5 film holders.
