Thanks for reading!
Back story: I'm an occasional Nikon DSLR shooter with an interest in film photography, a goal of shooting mainly portraits and religious architecture, and an opportunity to buy a good camera. An older friend has passed away, and I have the opportunity to buy either...
his Nikon F2 35mm and many accessories/lenses, or...
his Linhof Kardan 4x5 with 210mm Rodenstock (and possibly another lens).
I'm hoping to use my film camera occasionally now and often in the next 5-25+ years.
I have two sets of questions.
1) Which (if any) film, chemistry, etc. do you expect to be available for 4x5 cameras 10+ years from now?
2) Are the current digital conversion units for these any good? How much should I expect them to improve in the next few years?
I also appreciate any advice/opinions you can share. I know this is a little like choosing between a terrier and a St. Bernard!
