That brings back memories.
I wonder how many here have used that set-up!

What do you mean "have used", I still do and love it.

Just to add, in addition to correcting the configuration tool, Lowepro customer service offered to exchange the bag for the next larger size without charge, even though the return was not within Amazon's return window - exactly what I would expect from a company with their excellent reputation in the industry - highly recommended.

5x4 is wonderful. there are two cameras i can recomment, as i currently use them. for studio use, the linhof technikardan cannot be beat. a competitor to that is the sinar p, but with micrometer drives on the front and rear standard, they can be a bit slow to use.
for field work, the linhof super technika models 4 and 5 are the go to cameras. with rising, tilting, falling, shifting front standards and with the rear standard using built in bellows for pretty much unlimited movements, they are perfect. but... ah, there's always a caveat, they weigh 10 pounds sans lens and sell for upwards of $1,000.00. so, for field, wisner, zone VI, wista, shen hao wooden field cameras will do 95% of what the linhof will do and weight one half the amount. and also you can find good ones on ebay for less than $1,000.00.

for really inexpensive gear, the redoubtable speed graphic in all its variants. no rear movements, but in the field, these are not often necessary. those, in great condition can be had for well less than $400.00.

good luck, and if you need assistance or have questions, let me know.

Dear Cody,
While your choices of LF cameras is reputatable, I will gladly match my Toyo 45a field against yours and I will match my Cambo Legend against your Linhof's. In fact Deardorff's beat us both.

Sounds to me like the frame didn't get cleaned and degreased properly before powder coating. You can't fix powder coat by using paint, it will show like a sore thumb.

You may want a Pelican case instead of a bag.

A PhaseOne iQ3 should due the trick quite nicely and last you at 2-3 years.

Did I miss the Canon M4, or was it not offered in the U.S., or is there a model still to be announced? Are the original Canon EOS-M lenses 100% compatible with the M5?


There was an M3 but it wasn't offered in the US that I know of.

I'll loan you my Toyo 45a with a 90mm wide angle lens, that should do the job.
