Keep an eye on the large format forums and ebay. Bargain cameras do turn up sometimes. But to be honest, the Shen Hao would be more than enough to get started with. I know woodsy bought one recently and loves it. It will have more than enough movements to keep you happy for a good while.

They don't import the 5x4 into the UK anymore.
Incidentally, Maco Direct also sell 5x4 astia and acros, neither of which you can get in the uk anymore.
It's not overly expensive either :)
hmmm, I'm almost tempted. I'll put my name down as a possible, but my 30 minute set up time per shot might slow you down a bit. I do have 35mm cameras but I always feel slightly like I'm cheating on the Wista a bit when I use them!

The impact is actually in the lack of immediate impact. That and the graphic nature of the shapes contained in the image.
I think Gursky recently sold something similar for quite a large wedge...
That's a pretty specialised piece of kit with one or two distinct purposes. Not sure what you are getting at?

Four from me. Catching up on some stuff I started ages ago and not got round to finishing yet. I have re-calibrated my monitors tonight to a brightness level of 90 cd/m2 instead of the 120 cd/m2 the stupid calibration program recommended. Hopefully, these won't be too dark now. The histograms...
Enjoy, Don't think about the money!
Expensive? Only if you get G.A.S.for film stuff
