I am just moving to 4x5 and am in the process of choosing my first camera. My interest is landscape photography ranging from grand scenics to more intimate scenes. I shoot primarily in the mountain back country where there is rarely a wind free day, often it is very blustery. I've been looking at cameras and have been considering the Wista DX rosewood, the Wisner Expedition and the Ebony RW45E. I'm leaning towards the Ebony primarily because of its known rigidity and universal bellows, but I would sure like to avoid paying that much for a camera right now! On the other hand, I would hate to be out in the mountains shooting only to find that many of my shots are softened or ruined by a less rigid camera. Is the difference in rigidity between these cameras significant enough that I should worry about it? Should I really spend twice as much and get the Ebony??? Any thoughts to help clear this cluttered mind would be greatly appreciated!
