Have done 35mm extensively and a little MF work with borrowed equipment. Always lured by the high resolution/control of LF view cameras. Recently saw panoramic shots of landscape/ruins done in 6x17cm (Fuji GX617) and was enthralled. Want LF that can do 6x17cm, + other formats, and that is portable in the field. I am leaning towards a metal Canham with 6x17 back when available but worried about lack of support for 5x7 film si ze when not shooting 6x17. Any comments about best way to go? I love 1:3 panor amics and my goal is to make 1:3 and LF poster sized works. Is 8x10 portable wi thout a mule??? Any opinion and especially first hand experiences appreciated. Also any opinions about lens types and quality would be appreciated.
