hi,
i'm purchasing my first 8x10 and have recently come across an Osaka that is a budget LF camera with limited movements. i liked the feel of it and think it might be fine for what i need right now, but i want to make sure i can shoot what i want to shoot: environmental portraiture/landscapes and also portraits. it seems like i will need a 180mm for macro people portraits and i want to make sure the bellows will work okay with that.
i want to see if a) someone has personal experience with this camera and can recommend it knowing what i'd like to shoot and b) someone might dissuade me to get it for something comparable instead. (i was also looking at a used Deardorff, but i felt that it was too cumbersome to use and i might get intimidated by it).
for reference, i'm coming off a Sinar 4x5.
thanks so much for your help,
mona
