Yeah, why bother? 5X7 is such a handsome format.
Get the 5X7 and stick with it.
I'm reluctantly selling my Graflex D 5X7 since I have a 5X7 back for my
Kodak Master. The "D" is the shopping bag viewer one. Mine has a
refurbished shutter and has the modern film holders Graflex back. I made a
Buffulo fur padded neck strap for it, too. I'll include some 5X7 film
holders if anyone on this list is interested, contact me off list.

Subject: Re: Got it!!! Number 37 it is! - Why I chose it
I gave up my LF dream until I'm done with my PhD, which is only a
couple of weeks away now!!!
I think I'll start with 5x7 and then keep moving ;)

Bravo Pablo,
37! A primary (as Nick Nolte would say)!
I had thought 17 would be the one but Andy was more clever...
Now, if you're not a 100% sure of what Large Format is all about, you may
want to consider jumping directly to ULF (Ultra-Large-Format). Check

When I take my 11x14 field camera and all the gear that goes with it
(incl.3
holders), it weighs in excess of 60 pounds... This is more than a
digital
Canon, but then a contact print from a 11x14 negative is quite something!
Of course, you'll need to process the negative without scratching it.

Shapiro recently talked about the joys of development by inspection on a
different Forum.
Beware, LF is addictive...
Have fun!
