Hello everyone.
I would like to invest in a new large format system that I can use with both film and my digi back but am finding that this is not easy ( or cheap ! ). I bought a Silvestri flexicam after testing it with a Phase one back but found I could only shoot landscape with my H back ( unless I turned the camera on it's side ! ) so it went back to the store. I can't seem to find any sliding backs for large format which can be used landscape and portrait with the H system. If I can't sort this out I would still like to buy a field camera for film work and like the look of the Wista SP. I know it is possible to buy an adaptor for my EOS ( why you might ask ? ) but I'm not sure if this would only allow for close-up work.
I would be interested to hear any opinions on shooting with a field camera and 35mm for portraits and if anyone is using an H back with a a field camera as well.
Thanks,
Cristian
