Picked up a Shen-Hao 5x4 for a bit of fun when the weather gets better:
I very much like the look of that and will be very interested to see the results. Well done.

PS. What lens have you got?
Haven't bought the lens yet as it caught me by surprise when it came up for sale locally so I bought the camera last night and the guy chucked in 25 sheets of Ilford black and white film. I'm thinking a 150mm maybe from Mr Cad or ffordes but not decided on what yet.
135mm to 180mm is a good start. I don't really like 150mm its a bit too in between for my preference.
135mm tend to have relatively speaking smaller image circles while 180mm lens are in general in Copal 1 rather than Copal 0 so a bit bigger and 400th of a second max shutter speed not that that is generally an issue.
Commercial cameras have a Toyo 10x8 field camera if you are still looking

That's a bit personal@Laudrup - Would you mind measuring your Shen Hao when it's folded and letting me know the dimensions, please?
Thanks
Excuse the iPhone pics.
First trip out today with the Texas Leica just purchased from @djguru - negs hanging up now but I messed up and in my excitement let the dev tank unscrew as I was pulling the cap off to put the developer in

Stop tempting me, get the behind me large format devil
Here's my newest toy, Beautyflex D TLR [sorry, couldn't be bother doing full studio set, just grabbed a light and bit of acrylic hanging around from shoots earlier in the week]
Blimey. When I think of some of the shonky phone images of new kit I've uploaded in the past ... I really must review my standards
Edit to add, I love the little film reminder in the focus wheel.
I do not need any more cameras. I do not need any more cameras. I do notwantneed any more cameras!!!
Like the "Texan Leica" monicker for the Fuji 6x9 and the idea of a TLR. However, I'm not sure what local D&P resources there are these days let alone whether they can handle MF film.
