Yeah, but I can't see hauling an 8x10 view camera around in a kayak,
although they give wonderful photos. I thought about getting a 4x5 view
camera one time for other uses, like architectural photography. The cost of
the camera itself wasn't so bad, but when you think of all the other gear
that's involved, it gets a little scary. Sort of like kayaking . . .
