A Canon A710 IS, obviously.
>>3110733
canon looks like THAT?
>>3110736
Evidently.
Don't you dare call me a hipster, sonny.
>>3110728
what city? good to see people getting out there and using their 4x5s we need more of this. i broke the ground glass in my toys 45a last winter and now only finally got around to buying a new yanks 2 in 1
hipsters would never

>everybody doing something different from the norm is a hipster
4x5 deserves respect

Real shit. Some trend hopper wouldn't drop tons on cash on a 4x5 setup, the film, and the hassle of the whole system to look cool; and if they did it'd be something like a Crown Graphic.

Why are all large format cameras clunky as shit? There are hundreds of MF models out there that are /fa/ as fuck but LF seems stuck in the 19th century.

excuse you

>4x5 is three times the size of 6x6
>yet the cameras are 10 times the size
Explain this.
>>3111994
depends, man. a mamiya rb67 is a lot larger than a hasselblad 6x6
>>3112029
And TLRs are way smaller than both.
>>3111994
My Technika weighs less than my GS-1, it's really only the focusing that's a hassle
>>3112173
>Because film expands in 2 dimensions, cameras in 3, idjit.
And most 4x5s have to have the room to accommodate movements.
>>3112198
>Modular design, freedom of movements, no LF rollfilm to design a system around. Lots of them collapse for transport.
Thanks, this was the answer I was looking for.
>not hand-shooting with your 4x5 SLR

you're not a real hipster unless you are painting your own egg emulsion on the glass plates.

Please, until you're doing daguerreotypes/tintypes on the polished inside of Pabst can metal, you're doing it wrong
