OK, so I was enthusiastic enough to get more seriously into the LF, more than a year ago, by getting a Toyo 4x5 monorail camera. Movements galore and lots of flexibility. However... I like to travel/hike and carrying a beast like that on my back ain't pretty. Now I'm thinking that a good field LF camera might be just what I need, they're a lot more compact and easier to transport. I looked at the Shen Hao cameras, they are purrrrdy! Can't touch one anytime soon though, maybe after I get a tax return this April.
I'm in love at home with the Toyo but feel stuck with the monorail monster. I do have an old Speed Graphic with good bellows but it's not as flex as the Toyo when it comes to movements. I realize I don't need much out in the fields but I would still love to have more flex than the SG offers. I love shooting in ghost-towns, so there is some minimal architectural use.
Should I look at something different than the SG or should I just carry that baby? :scratch:
