I recommend looking into a Toho FC45X, which I have. You can see a *very* detailed review at: http://www.thalmann.com/largeformat/toho.htm Probably the best place to buy them in the US is at http://www.badgergraphic.com/ Please let me know if you have any questions. If weight isn't an issue, I highly recommend the Arca Swiss standard f-line camera. -Peter De Smidt
