Wanted to let everyone know that I wound up buying John's Wisner! I'm very excited! Thank you all for the great advice. Now I just need to track down a tripod. Does anyone have any recommendations for a good first tripod that is fairly cheap?

Did he use the words "good" and "cheap" in the same sentence?

(I am sure that there will be a few suggestions regarding models that are adequate and good value!)
Looks like I'm too late for this discussion... congrats on your "new" Wisner" I drooled over that camera for a few years, compromised with a near-equivalent Zone VI... but after I destroyed the wood camera via a face plant on some granite, I treated myself to a real, "new" camera with the Chamonix.
All I can say is that you will be very happy with the Wisner, it's a gorgeous camera, plenty of movements and you will get many, many comments... (ooooh, just like Ansel Adams... ooooh, that must be an antique.....) It's actually fun using and displaying those cameras in the field. A slight possibility that the Wisner's bulk will weigh on you over time, but depending on your use, it could last you a lifetime.
Have fun!
