Hello,
after some years of dreaming of LF I've finally pulled the trigger and purchased Plaubel Peco Profila 13x18 (the set I bought looks exactly like the one in the link). The camera is in process of being shipped to me, so in the mean time I have some time to collect other bits and pieces I need, without knowing what exactly is in the box, how much the whole thing weights etc.
What kind of photos will I make
Well, we'll see about that. I plan to start in a "home studio", doing some still lifes and maybe portraits. Then I imagine I would take a camera to a walk in a city (let's say I put the whole thing in a bag with wheels, than that's actually doable!). Then... we'll see. I probably won't go hiking with it though ;-)
Tripod
This is where I'm focusing at the moment as I can't even assemble the camera without it. Given that eventually I would like to go out, I should probably really limit myself to carbon ones. Some stuff I found browsing around:
- SIRUI N-2004X Universal, apparently should take up to 15kg loads, with quite good reviews
- B.I.G. TMC-1300, similar story
looking how much both of the above cost compared to their "studio" models, I fear they are cheap models for slr
- Coman Aluminium TG330AT (supports up to 20kg, has no center column which I heard was good, seems more sturdy than the above)
Maybe a stupid question: can the camera be attached directly to the tripod, without a head, for the time while I collect everything?
