Hi all.
I'm crippled with the ongoing costs of shooting 4x5" film. Where I live, the only option for developing C-41 sheet film is the equivalent of $18USD per sheet.
I've never really shot 4x5" for the extra detail, mainly more for the movements and composition / gg experience so I'm wondering what a good smaller format, 6x7cm option might be to replace / supplement my Technika outfit.
I only use a 150mm and 90mm on 4x5" so will need some high quality equivalents if I move down a format – my 90mm is an f8 Super-Angulon and I don't think it would be great if shooting 6x7cm as it's not very bright on the ground glass and is rather average in terms of sharpness etc.
I'd love to spring for a Techno as it looks well built and can accomodate a MFD back, but that kind of money is out of the question.
Any ideas on some outfits to look into?
Thanks,
TJV
