RE: [Leica] LF Questions: Was: Leica For sale

Hi Frank,

I wasn't so much looking for answers for my particular
large format needs.  My question was more about quality
large format cameras in general.

Be that as it may, I am shooting in the studio more,
although I just got me a "pocket" view camera.  I have an
affinity for small, compact cameras in their respective
film formats.  For my current studio work (portrait), I
really do not need any movement.  But let's not talk
about me.
