I have been toying with the idea of playing with a 4x5. I have tons of experience with 35mm, a few years with 120/220, but none with anything larger and thought it might be fun.
Given that I do not want to be Ansel Adams and do not have that much money to spend on a setup, and given that I want something reasonably portable (thinking maybe a field camera), and that I want something reasonably new (please no old press cameras), and that I would need a complete system with whatever lenses (they all have shutters in them, right?), lens boards, film holders, etc. What would you recommend as something to get to play with?
I have looked at some collapsible Zone IV cameras that looked neat. Also looked at a couple monorail types but am afraid they would be a real bear to transport up the trails.
Thanks!
