Hey all -

Anyone near the Spokane area that is a 4x5 LF photographer? Anyone in Spokane an Ebony user? I'm trying to do as much research as I can before I purchase a 45SU. I'm coming from a Mamiya RZ 67 II system, so movements and bellows will be obviously new things for me.

I've read the Steve Simmons book, the AA book (the camera), and Jack Dykinga's book. However, I have not had my hands on a LF camera.

If anyone is near here, perhaps we could arrange a day in the next few months to go shooting, or at least perhaps maybe a little hands on with a 4x5 (or larger?) camera?

I appreciate anyone who's taken the time to read this.

Danny B. - Wish I would have listened to you earlier and got a 4x5, so you can say "I told you so"

Initially, I'll shoot on rollfilm with a 6x9 back. This is to make as much use out of the Nikon Coolscan 9000 I invested in last year.

I appreciate anyone who takes the time to read this.

Cheers!
