I am asking for advice from the master's. I currently us a wista 4x5d. I am ver y interested in purchasing an 8x10 field view. I would like it to be very simila r to the wista I now have. Most of my work is in the field and tabletop. What type of lenses should I look for? I live in a small Arizona town with very litt le LF support. I will have to travel to phoenix to look for suppliers of 8x10 e quipment. Where should I go? Which lens will give me the most flexibility? Whic h camera is sturdy, not too heavy and has fairly long bellows extension? Also mo vements are important; which field camera has the most movements? I am doing mor e platinum printing and I am not satisfied with enlarged negs, they have the qua lity of a second generation image. Oh one more thing I'm an adjunct faculty memb er in photo so you know i am broke. Any help you can give me will be greatly app reciated. I am not the type of person to ask for advice and then go off on my me rry way in the other direction. Thankyou for considering my questions. jacque
