I've made my living primarily shooting architecture for over 30 years now, the last two fully digital with DSLRs and t/s lenses. Until it was stolen, I used a Tachihara for some 15 years of that and a Calumet Widefield then up to 2 years ago. In the day I think I paid $400 for the Tachi and $175 for the Calumet (and about 3k for the DSLR bodies and thought that was a deal!). From my competitors point of view, two relatively crappy cameras, but I was never into impressing anyone with unnecessarily expensive equipment and these cameras were serviceable, especially the Widefield which was originally designed for architecture. One can do world class work with limited equipment if one understands and sees architecture.
