Hi Tom
Although i dont use my 6x7 to the extend Paul does,with flash and ladders, :-) i can
attest to
affordability.I put together my current system of a 6x7 MLU,metered prism, with 90
f2.8 LS
and a 200
f4 for about $1200.00 Can. I really like what i have seen so far from B&W negs and
slides.Colour film
i'm still trying to find a good happy medium.but seem to yield good results.
I hand hold a lot of the time and use a monopod for most of the 200 shots.No mirror
slap
problems to
speak of.
Besides,if ex list member Brother Aaron hand holds,how can we go wrong.lol
Hope that helps.
Dave
