Feli:

I tried moving up from medium format a couple of years ago... 6x7cm to 
4x5" isn't much of a change.

You might want to try 11x14, or at least 8x10.  You won't need an 
enlarger as you'll be able to make contact prints and an 11x14 or 8x10 
isn't that much more trouble to work with than a 4x5.

Here's one from last Septemebr which I've only recently got around to 
scanning, it's one of BD's favorite subjects:

If you're on dial-up you may want this one instead:
