RE: thinking of getting into Large Format......

These days large format cameras are dropping in price so good deals are available.

Look for a 4x5 field camera, lightweight, folds flat ( like a big dictionary:) can take a range of lenses. Wista makes very nice camera, Nagoka, Zone 6


look at KEH.com, Georgeury.com for a start craigslist isnt bad either but check it out carefully

Get a good solid tripod, you cant shoot with large format a lightweight tripod

i shoot 4x5 8x10 and 8x20 so have worked in a variety of sizes
