The digital B&W shots look pretty good too, but there are some subtle and not-so-subtle differences in the final prints. The worst thing is when you see the effects of excessive digital enhancement when shooting in rich mono mode - for edges and thin lines (like those telephone lines). But as I said, the Sony is my B&W "tonal proofer" (I don't use it to determine exposure).

They still make the 4 x 5 pack film, but obviously it's not exactly easy to attain in America, and they do also make the smaller stuff and are continuing to produce and deliver that to the USA, so if you want to pick up the other back to take the smaller version, just as a proof that also could work ;)

Really nice cameras .
Normally a lovely film, too.

Here is my Shen Hao 4x5", taken with Plaubel 5x7" and Wephota FO 5, a technical film..

And I really want to show my first baby - a Plaubel Universal, 13x18 cm (5x7" ).
It's from the sixties, it's solid and heavy, fast to use and, for me, a real beauty.
I missed her, because I graded up to Plaubel Profia 4x5" and 5x7".

Oh nice!
A 4x5" monorail is a dream of mine - but it is to big and heavy to carry it with my scooter.

My kids!
