Although I currently have four LF cameras, I do have the same two you do, the Nakagoa 4x5 and the Kodak 2D 8x10, what a coincidence! Great lightweight cameras. I have more LF lenses but don't feel overburdened yet, so don't worry you arent going explode or anything. I would recommend a 480-600 mm range lens for the 8x10 though, they are fantastic for taking group shots of people, I have a few family photos taken that way that will be cherished for decades/centuries I am sure. Contact printed of course.....

Film & chemicals are all I should be buying in general for a long time. This is enough. I got into developing software because hardware was too frustrating. Cameras is getting the same way. Time to produce instead of handle. So when you guys doing digital get frustrated because of the lack of durable history, I'll have a stack of negatives to set beside your scratched CDs/DVDs.
