Following the MF/LF discussion here...

I've been lurking in this forum for some time, but feel that I can 
now make a worthwhile contribution :) For those who would prefer to 
stick to MF, Fuji's GX680III is an ideal answer. It's not very well 
known or discussed, it seems, which is a shame because it does so 
much. Its great strength is that it has full LF-style movements, but 
is very user-friendly. Since it gets 9 shots on a roll of 120, it's 
also much more economical to use than LF.

I shoot both MF and 4x5. Each has its place. I prefer to get the 
largest original transparency that's practical, but there are times 
when the 680 gets a shot that I'd have missed with 4x5. I really 
dislike using cameras without movements, and the 680 is the only real 
answer if you don't want to go all the way to large format.

I have an extensive review of the 680 on my website for those who are 
interested. I'm not a dealer, just a satisfied user.
