    Excellent!

    Suggest starting with a 150mm to 210mm focal length lens from any of the big four Schneider, Nikon, Rodenstock, Fujinon in a proven-known good shutter. You'll need a light meter, ground glass magnifier, dark cloth, proven good film holders and case and film.

    Figured out post camera film processing and print making?

    I have a pretty full kit for my mpp 4x5. Just need to change lensboards. I have a 210, a 150, and a 67(ultrawide). Spot meter, darkslides, lenshoods, cable releases, Polaroidback, coupes etc, all in a heavy custom made aluminium box. Thinking I should add a 90 and maybe a 300( have to check bellows length). Tested my dev tank, film hangers and scanner the other day, all working well. Spot meter too.Neg was a bit too dense, but not too far of the mark, my metering fault I think.
