I know this question has been asked periodically, BUT please bear with me.

I'm looking to upgrade from my somewhat clunky Wista 8x10 to a Wisner or Canham, Ebony, Lotus, Phillips, AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!

It would be a great help if you all could enumerate the best AND worst aspects o f your respective cameras.

I shoot outdoors, with lenses ranging from 121 Super Angulon to 450 Nikkor M. Stability (rigidity), smoothness of use of metal parts paramount.

Many thanks,

Bill
