After shooting weddings for three years I want to return (at least in my free time) to what I got into photography ten years ago for in the first place: landscape. I know that the only way to go about this seriously is LF film or a ~$50k digi back. The choice is pretty obvious I've spent the past week and a half on ebay figuring out prices and testing the waters. At first I thought I wanted a Crown Graphic, and then I thought I wanted a Calumet, and then there was a really confusing hour and a half on thursday when both the Orbital and Arca Swiss looked awesome and I couldn't possibly imagine how I had ever wanted a Crown Graphic, and then five minutes later I thought the Crown Graphic looked perfect; and now I'm so confused that I've decided to seek help.
Here's what I do know: I don't need a LF for anything but landscape. I will be photographing primarily near my home in TN so it's okay if it's a little weighty (I won't be taking it on any backpacking trips soon). I have a tight budget so I would love to find a camera/lens combo for $300 or less.
Any advice would be MUCH appreciated!
