Subject: [Leica] OT: Large format advice?

Hi,

I am thinking of entering the large format world and I am looking for
some pointers and experiences since this is new for me.

I am sure other luggers are using large format.

I would be interested in a 6X9 view camera to avoid the difficult and costly 
processing of 4X5 and to still have a camera that can be carried. I feel I 
need something more than my rolleiflex 6x6 for at least architecture and 
control of DOF.

Any pointer on test of equipment,lenses?
How understand the differences between the funny names of large format 
lenses?
ANY Large format mailing list?
Any advices?

TIA,

logan,
P.S. since this is OT feel free to answer privately
