Though my wife likes my chromes of flowers, bugs and other fauna, what
really blows her away is the 4 x 5 Linhof MT work of a local friend. He
works with Leica R, Hassy and the Linhof, but it is the big work that
adorns every square inch of his home's walls and occasionally local
galleries and churches that draws the oohs and aahs from the viewers.
I bet that if I asked the following of my wife, in just this way, the
answer would be immediate and affirmative. "Hon, I was thinking of getting
one of those cameras like Franco uses for those pictures in his house"!
Let's see now, what lens shall I start with. . .
