I'm new to the forum, and came upon it while researching Ebony 4x5's.
This will be my first foray into LF photography, and I want to do it right the first time.
I was about to pull the trigger on a SW45, but it was sold from under me, unfortunately. Maybe that's a blessing (or hinderance on my bank account) in disguise, as I've now been looking at the 45SU.
I noticed there are a few people on this forum that have used a 45SU.
My primary use would be landscape. I do like to use a lot of depth of field, and play with out of focus area, and am wanting a camera capable of that. I'm not sure if the SW45 would be sufficient in that area?
I talked to a pro that used the SW45, and loved it's ease of use. Is the 45SU much the same in that regard?
Also, would I need a wide bellows for both, or either of these, when using wide lenses?
Any help and insight on these questions, or any other opinions regarding these cameras is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
