Hi to all Wista VX users who shoot architecture. Before I continue, I have to say thanks to Robert Ley who has been very helpful thus far. I realize, that I have asked a similar question quite recently; however a specific answer is now quite urgent.
I have an option on a 2nd had Wista VX and Horseman 612 back. I have also searched the past threads for people who shoot architecture with this camera, but have had no joy so far. Can the Wista VX with bag bellows, recessed board and lenses as wide as between 75-90mm be used for architectural photography, or perhaps put another way, are you managing relatively comfortable to use this camera in this role? Is the rise and shift adequate for this, or am I asking too much of the camera?
I also backpack and shoot scenic work. As I have only enough cash to buy one camera, which I need to fill both roles, I don’t though want to waste money on a camera that can’t meet my criteria.
Thanks in advance, and to all those who have already given me some assistance.
Yours
Karl
