[Leica] IMG: The Beach Game

[Richard Man]

Thanks Jayanand and Jim.

My goal is to determine whether to take the 4x5 or the Hassy for a
(hopefully this year's) through Hong Kong / China. I know things like the
Leica SL or the A7RII may provide even better capabilities but I am not
interested in them. Beyond cost, I really enjoy using the large ground
glass on the Hasselblad and of course the 4x5. Also, since I develop my own
film, even 100 rolls or 100 sheets are "just" $500, significantly less than
a new digital system.

(Yes, I know Salgado switched to Canon digital from film because of the
chore of carrying all the films through the airports)

The Hasselblad is winning at this point as I can shoot more photos and also
so faster environmental portraits. If I can get the focus stacking working,
then I am less concerned about not having the tilt option. (Yes, I am aware
of the Flexbody etc.)

Even if I use the Hassy as the main camera, I will almost certainly take
the 4x5 with a couple lens as "back up".
