I just subscribed to this forum and finding it could not have been more =
timely.
I am in the process of going into large format and I am being humbled by =
the process. I have narrowed my choices of a 4x5 field camera down to =
a used Linhof Master Technika, a new Ebony field camera or possibly a =
Wisner. My requirement for movement can be accommodated by either of =
these cameras. It is my belief that optics are more important than the =
body assuming stability is in place. =20
I would appreciate anyone's comments on their experiences and opinions =
of these models. Also, your suggestions and thoughts on optics would be =
helpful.
Many thanks,
Bob Bedwell
