Look at Epson 1430. Will print 19" wide. Six separate ink cartridges. Fits your price target. Does a good job.

I have an older version of that lens and, using it, I shoot (handheld) weddings free for friends. My friend, after the last big one, said my 100+ shots were better than the onrs from the pro he had hired. Not fair, of course, because I selected different subjects. I tried to get a serious, unposed portrait-type shot of every attendee.
At 89, I signed up for the extended maintenance contract!
A brief explanation of the use of camera movements, that is swing and tilt: To reduce what we call distortions in photos of structures with parallel lines: move the lens and/or the sensor/film plane so the latter is as close to plane-parallel with the structure being photographed as possible.
Jerry,
You are exactly correct. I think that some individuals called "Photo Journalists" do not create all or any of the photos used in their news articles.
I agree with Low; a beautiful sky.
I don't get many noise complaints when I use my pin-hole camera made from a Nikon box.

A great shot. You made your point!
I still have my Hasselblad 1000F, an older model, but have moved on to a Nikon D700. I agree that the Hasselblad optics are excellent. Unfortunately, the currently available digital backs for old Hasselblads is not designed to fit the 1000F models, Price is a little steep, also.
A textbook definition of Hyperfocal Distance is: "The distance from the camera, such that if an article at that point is in sharp focus, then all objects from one-half that distance to infinity have satisfactory definition."
The "satisfactory definition" is based on a "circle of confusion" which you are free to select! The technical formula for HD can be given, if interested

One of the recent notes contains a statement that I believe could be misunderstood. The entire "crop sensor" is illuminated by the aperture that is 'open' on the lens and it determines the sharpness, not that the sensor is smaller than full-frame.

A very nice catch. Lenticular clouds are unusual enough so occasionally one has been featured on front page of the Seattle paper. They are a little more common, from Seattle, on Mt Rainier, which is ~2000 feet higher. Jim
Very nice shot of Mt Adams and its special cloud. At altitude of about 12000 feet it does change the local weather-forming features. Jim
Len,
