Medium and Large Format Cameras and Enlargers for them?
Posted: Mon Jan 01, 2007 5:34 pm
I am looking to buy a Medium and Large format camera. The Medium formats I am looking at are the Mamiya RB-67 and the Bronica ETRSi. I like the price of the Bronica. I only plan to spend between $200-$400. on the entire camera, with lens and waist level view finder. Can anyone give me some insight to what the differences are?
As for Large format, I know nothing about them. I see the vintage and antique ones on ebay. are they any good? they are the Graflex Speed Graphic 4x5; Toyo Omega View 45E. I am not sure what size I would like but the 4x5 seems to be the standard of Large Format
The other problem I have ran into when looking at these cameras is an enlarger. Is there an enlarger that can support all film cameras (35mm, Medium, Large Formats) using different negative holders? I do not want to get two enlargers.
Any help is appreciated.
