I'm craving for a LF camera outfit. I've owned a Speed Graphic in the past but now I've fallen in love with the 8x10 format, but I'm afraid it will be to bulky in the field, and the film is very expensive. But I like the big format, especially when I'm going to shoot still life and portraits. But I also wanna shoot land/cityscapes and architecture.
I like the fact that I can shoot 8x10, 5x7, 4x5, 6x17 on a 8x10 camera.
The alternative would be a 4x5 for agility or a 5x7 to get a little more opportunities with the formats.
I've had my eyes on Shen Hao and Tachihara witch seems quite affordable. Or maybe the Canham 5x7.
How would you think? Lets start with the cameras and take the lenses later.
Thank you!
