Hello,
I'm thinking about upgrading my current Mamiya 645S system to a larger format like 6x7, but I'm not sure what the best option would be. Large format itself is prohibitively expensive to develop in my location, so I'll stick with medium.
It will be almost exclusively for landscape shots, tripod-mounted, and a high percentage will be long exposures of between seconds and many minutes (or longer, if possible).
My consideration is that I have to physically hike around with my setup, and so I'd prefer something not ridiculously heavy.
Budget is around $1000 for the whole setup, but if possible, $750 would be great.
Previously I've considered the Mamiya RZ system as I'm interested in the shallow depth of field of the 110/2.8, and the bellows focussing system.
And I've also considered a Fuji 690BL, but the wide-angle lens is really hard to find.
I appreciate any and all suggestions!
