Re: [Digital BW] OT MF film sizes

Hello Danny,
Thanks. 

The Mamiya RB67s are priced reasonably low on Ebay.
I can test the waters of this format without committing
nearly that a Mamiya 7 + extra lens would cost. If I
can manage to lug this thing around, a wood 4x5 field
camera will be a cinch !

I've bookmarked you website - nice collection ( especially
the BWs )

Best,
Alex
