I saw a used 4 by 5 format camera for a reasonable price that seemed in good condition. I was advised against it for good reasons. The film and processing is expensive.
Yet, I wish I had bought it. For an occasional photo, it would have been great, expensive or not. The large format provides a very high quality image, even when the image is greatly enlarged.
I likely would’ve regretted it, but I would have a few really nice pictures. Maybe a few of them would’ve been of family and friends. A few would have been of the Grand Canyon and the redwoods of Sequoia. I might have a few of Sandia Peak as it reflects the rays of the setting sun.
I do have photos I took with my 35 mm camera, but the 8x10s are a bit grainy.
