Title: 4x5 view cameras
Post by: SCQ on October 01, 2009, 10:08:11 pm

I have been thinking about getting into architectural photography again. Also, I enjoy shooting portraits and can afford to spend time setting up. Thus, I am considering a 4x5 view camera. I would like to someday go digital with it, but for the time being, film is fine.

Any ideas? It would seem like a decent solution I've spotted around are Sinar Fs, but there must be more options out there. They seem to go for around $1000 CAD with lense.

Any ideas on how to get started also?
