Thanks for the excellent article. Now I have to tell my wife that I need another camera. 
Seriously, it may be awhile, but some day I certainly hope to get into LF photography. It appears to be an entirely different world from the work I've done over the years.
Cheers,
Tom

| Thanks Tom, I'm glad you enjoyed the article. This is a really great camera, and I hope more people consider getting one. As you can see, I've been very impressed with mine. I think you would enjoy going to large format. I really is a different way of thinking and reacting. When I first started I had trouble making that mental shift to go back and forth between different formats, although these days it is somewhat easier. My favorite is LF, but I also enjoy 35mm.

Hi Robert,
Thanks for the review. I will have to read it more carefully.

It was Robert's article that convinced me to give it a try.
So, far I've been content with it. I really like to single worm-gear focusing wheel and it is somewhat lighter than my previous camera: Toyo 45AII, although I do miss the focusing box and the incremental turning ability of the back on the Toyo.
I've posted one image thus far in my modest gallery section.
