Digital BW, The Print

I am at last prepared to admit the larger film format offers a route
directly into superior quality, and as a result I will shortly have to
consider ways to raise the necessary funding.

As an old age pensioner I can hardly be expected to pay for the beastly
product out of official earnings, can I now?

I will therefore have to seriously consider getting paid employment (God
forbid that I actually do some work- well at my age it's just too terrible
for words).

I have set myself a target figure of UKP 6,000 big ones to be used for the
purchase of a medium format camera, two or three lenses and the appropiate
film scanner (by that time my last bit of personal capital will have been
swallowed up in obtaining an 1160 and a Cone magic wand driver device).

What I would appreciate from the that collection of great satanists who
inhabit this here news group, is some suggestions as to the best currently
available within the mid format range.

Do not bother about the scanning side as I have had more to do with that
product type than anyone here has had in hot dinners.

I laready own a set of professional size Cokin's and a jolly little spot
meter.
My understanding of the technical application of the Zone System is complete
so now all I need is the bread.

Any suggestions most gratefully considered, even from the Rev Franklin, St
Erlich? - well now that's a different matter entirely.
