I would try the arista 125 since its the same as fp4 and very cheap. supposedly 5x7 will be available later this month. I shoot arista 400 in 4x5 and love it.-J
Fatali is a mediocre photog with incredibly bad taste.Richard Misrach has shot the same type of subject matter and has a far more interesting take on it. I think the real discussion should be which...

both view camera and lens work will accept portfolios for consideration. you will have to look in the magazine for details on sending your work to them.-J
you make a good point Pete. So any ideas on the best way to do get magnifactons beyond 1:1. at some point with any lens you just cant get any closer.-J
The Snow flake guy took all the snow flake pics with a view camera and that was back in the `20s? so there must be some way. I dont think I understand Pete. Diffraction limited what do you...
