    It’d also slow the process of raising the camera up!! So very little chance of it shaking!!

    You should ask him what happened to his lovely long hair and pouty lips!

    I'm looking forward to seeing some photos, Adrian.
    I'd also like to know, in due time, if you think the results were worth the effort, or if you couldn't get very similar results from a Pentax 67, or Mamiya RZ67 (to name but two).
    Good luck, and enjoy the ride!

    I would too. I have a couple of young children and am self employed and have a show in Rotterdam coming up so things are pretty busy right now. Hopefully Early next week though. I’ll have my Plaubel 67 to compare with so let’s see how it goes.

    Bit late, but last week I shot the wista rf handheld with the 150mm at f5.6 and pegged the focus nicely. Which was all the more satisfying as when I checked the rf it needed adjusting. A quick turn on the adjustment screw and moments later... boom! Next I’ll try it with the 180mm (when I’ve bought one!)
