Has anyone tried to shoot with a 4X5 view camera? It would be lighter than most medium format camera's and the negative would be stunning!!!

Any idea's?

I'd love to know too. Several days ago I started
to look at films, but didn't find E200
in 4x5. I have a friend who shot some hypered
4x5 Tech Pan film at an observatory years back.

The lenses aren't fast, and if you have to stop
them down 1-2 stops to get good images at the
edges, that would be a show-stopper.

Anyone with experience out there? I'd try
in a second if E200 was available -- imagine 16x20
prints as crisp as a 4x6 from 35mm?
