Yes, I can think of times when it is pretty hard to set up the 4x5" rig, especially when you don't have the time... nowadays I shoot with my 35mm in these situations. I think the 6x7 format would provide me with about the same image quality than the 4x5" does (at the level of enlarging I need). But you can't persuade me to sell the 4x5" kit ;-) Ahh.. those lovely calm evening moments.. standing/sitting on the rocks of the shore of an otherwise desert island, waiting for the sunset, tripod and a beautiful wooden camera set up ready to catch the last rays and the wonderful colors... But I know.. I should not have fondl.. eeerm handled that 67 II during the photo exhibition last spring. Then, there was a 67 II + AE finder on Ebay with BIN of US$1200 Sunday evening my time... no bids.. just listed.. just waiting for me.. AND I DID NOT BUY IT !!! Monday morning my time it was gone ... stupid me. Do I need to go out and shoot more !?
