I think I got serious GAS and need your help to recover (also my wife would appreciate that a lot. I am thinking for several days of replacing my 4x5 Tachihara with Arca Swiss Discovery. I mostly use 4x5 for landscapes, which of course involves some, not very hard, hiking and for macro. There are some features I am missing while working with Tachihara - horizontal movements and too short bellows for many macro photographs I want to make. I understand that Discovery would not give me more bellows then Tachihara and that I can use swings to get basically the same effect as horizontal displacement would give me with Discovery. But it is so tempting!
I would probably sell Tachihara and one or two lenses I have and use only occasionally...
So please, tell my why Discovery is so bad that I do not want it, may be it is too heavy or bulky for hiking? Or, maybe it is just bad, or maybe... something else...
