Although I own a Sinar f2 and am very pleased with it, I'd take a look at David Muench and buy a Zone VI with a 75mm and a 500mm lens. Take a look at Muench's Plateau Light or Primal Forces and see what he's done with it. You certainly don't have to copy Muench but the equipment is excellent.

I'm not an expert, but that's my experience. Three years ago I start LF with a Canham that I bought in NY. At this time, I will choose between a Linhof technika (master technika?) camera or an Arca-swiss/Canham type camera. I think the Linhof could be faster and more useful in adverse conditions. Although it's so different, the DLC45 would be again my choice (lighter, wider possibilities of use, cheaper...) My first lens was an Apo-Sironar 210/5.6, I'm so glad with it, but I would choose now a SS110/5.6XL first, and then a Grandagon 75/4.5 with a 300/350mm. Let us know your election... Good luck.
