Hello all,
I would love to hear any recommendations for a 4x5 camera for architecture and landscape. I want to use a 90mm mainly and maybe a 120, 150 also.
I do landscape photography for fun, an architectural photography for money. So far I have been using a Cambo Wide system, which I like very much but I would like another set-up that has more flexibility. The 90mm has a large image circle, so I would need a camera that could take full advantage of this, with plenty of rise for architecture especially.
I would like a camera that is quick to set up, as my Cambo wide is excellent in that respect. Also it would be very nice if the camera is lightweight, as I would like to be able to take it on treks etc.
My budget would be maybe $1500 although a bit more or less is probably OK, second hand is fine.
Do any such cameras exit? Perhaps I need a monorail for architecture and a lightweight field camera for landscape.
The Arca Swiss f-line system would seem to be a good one, and I can get an ebony RSW for a reasonable price. The AS seems to have all the movements, but the ebony would seem to be a better bet for portability. I am not sure it has enough rise to fully use the 90mm lens though.
I would love to hear recommendations or any advice.
