I'm selling my car & thinking of using the money to get a large format set-up. The only problem is I have absolutely no idea what to get. I've heard good things about M.P.P, and, of course, Linhof, & Sinar. Any advice at this stage would be a great help, particularly where to buy/do some research. I'm not really looking for a 'starter' set up, more something that'll last me a while & I won't have to upgrade until it breaks.
Here's a basic list of what I'm thinking:
-Camera - Definitely a field camera, not a monorail or press. I'm looking at M.P.P, Tachihara and Shen Hao. Something with decent movements, hence not wanting a press camera, front & rear shift would be good. Bellows that will allow me to do some (very) close up stuff.
- Tripod - Obviously Manfrotto or Gitzo, but that's all I know. Definitely something sturdy (duh!) and a not-too-expensive 5x4 head.
- Lens/lens board - I'm thinking maybe a 100mm and maybe a 220 and 150 depending on cost
- Something that I don't know about yet!
Cheers,

P.S, my budget is around 900 quid, but I'd like enough left over for a decent spot meter.
