Go to 4x5 or Stay with 6x6 - I need some clarification

[Christopher Condit]

I stand corrected regarding long lenses, it's not impossible to use them, just very difficult.

Wow Hugh, nice location for your job there buddy. I'm new to LF as well. I had a medium format kit which I sold to move to 4X5. For me it seemed a natural compliment to the way I work anyway. Even with MF, and only 15 exposures on a roll I'd struggle to finish off a roll of film. Often I ended up developing the roll before it was complete just so it wouldn't sit for weeks in the camera. Yesterday I was out shooting on route 202 in Bill Clintons new neighborhood. Not wanting to deal with someone chasing me off their property I set up across the street to shoot a stone mansion. The first peek at the glass revealed that the road and passing cars were visible at the top of the glass. A little front rise and rear fall and presto! no more road. The building and trees remained straight. Magic. I only shot 2 exposures all day. But how often do you shoot roll film and only like 2 shots? LF makes you work at taking only those 2 shots. I enjoy it, others may not.
