As a counter to all these sentimental camera fetish threads.... Which were the worst large format cameras you've ever used?
Might as well diss other formats as well, since it is so much fun to gossip behind the camera's backs
My least favorite big camera was a heavy but loose 8x10 deGolden Busch that looked like it was built with nautical hardware. It had all the rigidity of a hundred year old Korona with none of the elegance -- yet it weighed at least 25 lbs.
The worst ever little one was the ridiculously expensive "state of the art professional" Sony FP-3 digital, an upgrade from the D770: http://www.dpreview.com/news/9906/99063001sonyd770.asp
1999's "state of the art" was 1.5 mp!
I also had a Russian Horizant that would literally "chew" film.
