I've just gotten my Christmas present, an Omega monorail with a Schneider 210mm f/5.6, and a big box to carry it in. I'm not allowed to play with it until Christmas but I think I can wait. Anticipation is a wonderful feeling when it comes to Christmas presents.
I've tried large format before and liked it very much, but I've never had kit of this quality. I plan to use it as a landscape camera and for occasional portrait work (our granddaughter). I understand that it isn't the most practical choice for landscape, but it's what I have on hand. I read somewhere that Edward Weston (I think) was of the opinion that if something was more than a mile away, it wasn't interesting.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to using it around my rural neighborhood.
Thanks for looking.
With best regards, Stephen
